Which ???target engine/subsystem can we expect? Your answer) There is place for only 1 target-subsystem in the Linux scsi stack and in the LSF summit the decision was taken to merge LIO. Has that decision changed since the summit? As a scst-user what I would like to understand is, what was that decision based on? Because the LSF summit was 'small by invitation' only summit.

If SCST really has licensing issues then I will personally stop using SCST. Since Vlad hasn't expressed any concerns on the above and neither have you commented on it, is it safe to assume that the licensing requirement is a non-issue?
