From the FAQ:
http://zfsonlinux.org/faq.html#WhatAboutTheLicensingIssue
"The ZFS code can be modified to build as a CDDL licensed kernel
module which is not distributed as part of the Linux kernel. This
makes a Native ZFS on Linux implementation possible if you are
willing to download and build it yourself."
I wouldn't want to say anything about that idea that was any more
definite than 'Hmmmmm'.
