As far as im aware there are 2 concerns about ZFS,
1) its license is not BSD /ISC you can use it and make money and not be sued,

Yes, CDDL seems to be a no go based on past CDDL discussion which is
available for example in Star & OpenBSD thread on @tech:

2) then there is the Number of Lines of code, which I believe is far longer than
the OpenBSD code base, who and what team would manage the
introduction of that code
and the risks that come with that large a code base.
Need to correct you a bit:
ZFS: ~110k lines
XFS: ~95k lines
Ext4: ~38k lines
while OpenBSD src/sys alone:
~3.7mil lines where majority is in dev. But if I subtract drm code which
is probably the biggest contribution in dev (~1.7 mil lines), then I
still get roughly 2 mil lines of code in sys -- which is just part of base.
LInes counted by sloccount.
