Comments on: Linux to get ZFS? http://breden.org.uk/2008/05/18/linux-to-get-zfs/ Complexifying simplicity Tue, 31 Aug 2010 19:12:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Simon http://breden.org.uk/2008/05/18/linux-to-get-zfs/comment-page-1/#comment-1589 Simon Tue, 01 Jul 2008 19:23:19 +0000 http://breden.org.uk/2008/05/18/linux-to-get-zfs/#comment-1589 Well, you're probably right about that. I haven't read all of the GPL so I'm just going by what I read on the net plus wikipedia. But FreeBSD and Mac OS X are using ZFS without problems... anyway, I'm sure an amicable solution will be reached someday, perhaps sooner than we think (Casablanca). For myself, I had used Red Hat & Debian Linux quite a lot on my home systems too, but I said to myself: 'I want ZFS and I'm not scared of trying a new UNIX flavour' -- so I tried Solaris, and it's been mostly a good experience so far, so no real complaints. Of course, it's not perfect, but then nothing is. For example, power management (suspend/resume) still doesn't seem to work with my hardware, but hopefully it will work someday...

Simple fact, the GPL was there long before ZFS so it was SUN who choose to use a licence incompatible with Linux. Not talking about the merit, just the facts :) Well, your conclusion is wrong AFAICS.
