Why would there be a problem if someone decided to create a 3rd party

zfs properly and fully integrated?
Would this not work, *and* have no problems with licensing?
there is no problem with licensing in that case.
The ebuild could even go in the portage tree, as Gentoo is not
redistributing sources when it publishes an ebuild.
Thanks Alan! Just the answer I wanted.
Ok, so... how hard would this be then? What would the chances be that
this could actually happen? I'll happily go open a bug for it if you
think the work would be minimal...
It seems to me that I can't be the only one who would like to see this
happen?
