There's no limitation on*running* the code, you can fetch and patch and
edit and compile and run all you want and have it on as many of your (or
the company's) machines as you want - neither license interferes with
your right to do that.
You may not redistribute the code though.
So, can you answer me this...
Why would there be a problem if someone decided to create a 3rd party
overlay *not* part of the official gentoo portage tree that contained
*only* the zfs stuff, and when this overlay was installed combined with
a zfs keyword for the kernel, portage would then pull in the required
files, and automagically build a kernel with an up to date version of
zfs properly and fully integrated?
Would this not work, *and* have no problems with licensing?
