As for the licensing: I could not be more bored. ZFS has a life outside Oracle.
The GPL vs BSD license debate has died down. Most people who matter prefer GPL while most companies prefer BSD so they can take free software and make it non-free.
Just a reminder: ZFS code is licensed under CDDL, which is a weak-copyleft variant of MPL. It is not under BSD or any other permissive licence. (Some permissive-licensing ideologues don't like ZFS in FreeBSD for the same reason they don't like any other copylefted code in that project.)
