Příští měsíc bude pro linuxové jádro k dispozici modul pro podporu souborového systému ZFS. Doposud byla taková podpora dostupná pouze přes FUSE. ZFS je pokročilý souborový systém z dílny Sun Microsystems, který je používán v operačnímu systému Solaris. Do Linuxu se však zatím nedostal (na rozdíl od BSD systémů) kvůli licenci CDDL, která, ač open source, není kompatibilní s GPL.

This code only supports 64-bit LinuxTo bude mít Jardík radost :-P Jinak, pochopil jsem to správně tak, že to tam nacpou a budou doufat, že je Oracle nenakope? To je... ehm... dobrá jistota :)
KQ Infotech ... this company will just be releasing their CDDL source-code as a build-able kernel module for users and ensuring it does not use any GPL-only symbols where there would be license conflicts. KQ Infotech also seems confident that Oracle will not attempt to take any legal action against them for this work.
"The licensing concerns should not be problem because there is a precedence to this and Oracle is already aware of it. The port from LLNL is under US government grant and has been validated by their lawyers. Obviously at first sight it seems like there is problem with the CDDL/GPL issue but as is clearly demonstrated by the port by LLNL and validated by their lawyers porting it as a kernel module is not a problem."
