ZFS is licensed under the CDDL[1], which is both free (as in freedom) and DFGS *compliant*. It is also *incompatible* with the GPL, which means distributing a Linux kernel (GPL) including the ZFS modules is possibly illegal[2]. End users however are well within their rights (freedom 0 and 1)[3] to use this combination, as long as they don't share it with anyone else (freedoms 3 and 4)[3]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Development_and_Distribution_License [2] As far as I know this was never tested in court [3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Free_Software_Definition Hope this explains, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser
