Why do you believe ZFS is unmaintained?

ZFS has a very free license. This was the reason, why it could be ported to the
BSDs. So why do you believe there is a "license hurdle"?
Also note: btrfs now is three years old. ZFS was started aprox. 10 years ago.
For this reason, btrfs is expected to need another 7 years to readh the level
of stability currently seen with ZFS.
