Does Oracle include ZFS in their ISO by default?

No, and as far as I know they don't contribute to ZFS on Linux. There
is a distinction between ZFS and OpenZFS that's kinda important. ZFS
on Linux is based on OpenZFS, not ZFS. There're incompatible features
since pool version 28 in each, so they're essentially diverging. I
don't know if that qualifies them as defacto forks (either from each
other, or from ZFS pool version 28). Anyway, Oracle only includes ZFS
in Solaris. And they continue to contribute to Btrfs.

They do, however, include DTrace in their distribution, which remains
CDDL licensed in their distribution

stop that FUD - CDDL is not the problem - MIXING is the topic
and don't bring "cdrecrord" to the topic, the author is the problem

back to topic:
even if DTrace would be closed source Oracle could include it because tehy
are the *copyright holder* and can release it under *every* license they
like to do

DTrace is a kernel module that is CDDL licensed in Oracle Linux. So, not FUD

come on get a laywer and dicuss that topic somewhere else



IT DOES NOT MATTER what Oracle does
IT DOES NOT MATTER what anybody else does
ABOVE DOES NOT MATTER for Fedora



and since you still did not realize it:

first they laywer needs to find out *which* of both licenses maybe violated - if it's the CDDL then it's no problem for Oracle, if it's the GPL, well it needs a lawsuit in doubt licensing is a minefield and hence Fedora / Redhat legal stays on the SAVE SIDE - so WHAT needs to be discussed again and again even without the legal questions a out-of-tree module WON'T make it into Fedora and so the whole topic is done
