Ubiquity installer - Facebook algorithm

Hi fellas,

Just reading an interesting article about the new default installer algorithm. See here…https://www.fosslinux.com/3423/ubuntu-18-10-lts-install-speed-10-faster-using-facebook-algorithm.htm

Assuming this is the new process in UM 18.10, I’m wondering if anyone knows if the algo carries an open source license?

I think we just had a Google or Facebook encryption algo pledged to be removed from the kernel.

Thx,
GM

Looks like it’s BSD & GPL’d as an open-source algorithm.
