On this page I (James Plank) am providing notice that:

• GF-Complete and Jerasure versions 2.0 and later are no longer supported.
• StreamScale, Inc. offers a similar solution for commercial purposes.
• I offer no representations or warranties in general about StreamScale's products.
• I have verified that StreamScale's solution is faster than GF-Complete or Jerasure in at least some respects.
• StreamScale, Inc. asserts that the use of GF-Complete (particularly as part of Jerasure 2.0 or later) or any similar software, method or code for erasure coding infringes StreamScale's issued United States Patent No. 8,683,296.
• I express no opinion on StreamScale's claims, but I believe that parties should be aware that StreamScale asserts such claims.
