This raises a whole bunch of questions, and none of the answers are good: - What's the difference between zfs and nvidia as binary blobs in the kernel? Either they are both incompatible on principle or they are not. - If the file system just uses standard kernel file system APIs then isn't it LGPL rather than GPL as per the exported symbols? - Given that relicencing either ZFS or Linux are prohibitively impractical what exactly is the point of assuming that may happen? - Who exactly complained about this? AFAIK the software conservancy doesn't have code themselves in the two products - If it goes to court the GPL may be harmed due to courts not understanding the difference between static and dynamic linking; who wins then? It seems like the beginning of the mother of nobody wins, and very little upside in any case.
