Okay, correct me if I'm wrong, but HFS+ has been around since about 1997.
Why, in four years, are there no decent utilities from the Linux community,
especially the PPC community, to use HFS+ disks? Is there some kind of
license restriction?

The hpmount, hpumount, and hp* utilities hardly count. They barely work now,
and none of the other applications I've seen respect hpmounted filesystems
anyway.
