I do not see how this is such a big "licensing" problem - the CDDL and GPL-2 are "incompatible" but this just means the verbatim ZFS code will never be accepted into the *mainline kernel*. Ubuntu has a specific solution to this - the "ubuntu" directory in the kernel tree, which holds stuff like compcache (BTW *please* update this to 0.5.3) and wireless drivers and so on.
That has not stopped Ubuntu shipping non-free Proprietary drivers (either licensed under some other license than GPL) and even binary drivers. It astounds me that nobody has even bothered to make a Linux kernel module that implements ZFS natively, yet everyone who is that concerned is probably running fglrx or some binary wireless firmware or putting something through NDISWrapper... or running WINE.. -- Add native ZFS to Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202952 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
