It is both a technical and legal problem.
- panick21_ 4y agoThere is not actual legal trouble, only purely theoretical legal trouble. And its both purely theoretical and HIGHLY unlikely.
- p_l 4y agoThe only legal trouble comes from GPL side (with SFC leading the lawsuit), but it also goes against long-term consensus on how GPL applies (as ZFS is not derived work)
