OpenSSL recently went through a such a relicening and rewriting project. It took years, alas.
- pabs3 4y agoI expect Oracle still holds copyright on a lot of the OpenZFS code, so probably not very feasible.
- yjftsjthsd-h 4y agoOpenSSL could change the license on most of the initial code base. AFAIK, ZFS is the exact opposite, with the majority of the core code having been owned by Sun and nobody can change its license now but oracle. I'm pretty sure that you're talking about a nearly complete rewrite.
