I do not wish to use zfs for license issues.
This just means you haven't thought about it. There is no possible way the zfs
license is relevant to you, as a home user building a standard shared file
server, unless you're planning to do some filesystem or kernel development code
and build it into your file server and distribute your code as a product.
Well, I personally dislike the lack of freedom in the license and the
fact that I can't, according to the license, create a proper kernel
module. It has to be used as a FUSE system and that isn't acceptable.
On a personal, stubborn I'm sure, note.. I dislike Oracle and choose not
to use their products if I have reasonable alternatives. I use Linux GNU
both for practical and moral issues. It is my lament that more people do
not put more moral weight into their decisions. If *everyone* made more
of a point of choosing the lesser of two evils in addition to a dry
evaluation of basically similar products, perhaps there would be
downward market pressure on evil. Unless and until we do so, we will
continue being screwed over by ever growing and arrogant corporations.
