OTOH, the only licensing issue with ZFS is that it is very unlikely to be part of the mainline kernel, because the CDDL is not compatible with the GPL. Oracle would have to relicense it with a BSD style license for that to happen, which seems pretty unlikely.
They could just dual-licence it under GPLv2 and CDDL if they so wished. Presumably they have strong reasons not to do it, or it would probably have happened by now.
