[En-Nut-Discussion] Phat Formatting

[Alain M.]

I believe that the problem here is the licence. FAT32 is a Microsoft 
patent, open software can use it, but embedded system cannot format any 
media... or something close to it, read the licence, it may be more 
complicated.

That is why photo cameras produce garbage when they format a card.
