Perhaps Apple can come to an agreement with Oracle when they couldn't with
Sun.

This seems very unlikely since the future needs of Apple show little requirement for zfs. Apple only offers one computer model which provides ECC and a disk drive configuration which is marginally useful for zfs. This computer model has a very limited user-base which is primarily people in the video and desktop imaging/publishing world. Apple already exited the server market, for which they only ever offered single limited-use model (Xserve).

There would likely be a market if someone was to sell pre-packaged zfs for Apple OS-X at a much higher price than the operating system itself.
