Since May 2005 the SFS source code is available under the [[GNU Lesser General Public License|LGPL]] license. Its development has now forked; as well as the original Amiga version, there are now versions for [[MorphOS]], [[AROS Research Operating System|AROS]], [[AmigaOS|AmigaOS 3]], and a version for [[AmigaOS 4]], which have different feature sets but remain compatible to each other. In addition, there is a driver for [[Linux]] to read Amiga SFS volumes,<ref>{{cite web|title=Amiga SmartFileSystem, Linux implementation | url=http://home.elka.pw.edu.pl/~mszyprow/programy/asfs/asfs.txt | accessdate=November 10, 2011 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120425153531/http://home.elka.pw.edu.pl/~mszyprow/programy/asfs/asfs.txt | archive-date=25 April 2012}}</ref> [[Grand Unified Bootloader|GRUB]] natively supports it,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Features.html|title=GRUB features|work=GNU GRUB Manual 2.0|archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20151004034021/https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Features.html|archive-date=4 October 2015}}</ref> and there are [[free software|free]] drivers to use it from [[UEFI]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Free Software EFI Drivers|url=http://efi.akeo.ie/|access-date=19 October 2015|archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20150319154520/http://efi.akeo.ie/|archive-date=21 September 2014}}</ref>
