I know you were referring to zfs but I just took it one step forward and asked
if there are closed parts, but Shawn has already covered this part. So, I
think this list of no-open is quiet long and can be a stopper for a full blown
security repo.

That isn't what I said. I corrected your example that ZFS was not fully open;
it has always been fully open. There are some parts of OpenSolaris that are
closed. As Sun/Oracle employees we were/are not allowed to say why they are
closed (there are various legal reasons).

It won't be possible for anyone employed by Oracle (or its affiliates) to be
involved in that effort in any way.
