I'd like to know how this could be legally redistributable, given the license conundrum CDDL and GPLv2 make. Any idea?

- wmf 16y agoZFS is redistributable and Linux is redistributable; you just can't redistribute the combination. So you'll have to download and install ZFS separately.
- wazoox 16y agoMmmh, interesting. Apparently they did this with production in mind, so it must be usable. I'll give it a try...
- ominous_prime 16y agoThank you. I was looking for some discussion here, but everyone was just spouting off about patents, and it being "illegal", which isn't the case. OpenAFS has a similar license incompatibility, yet it's still very widely used.
