- yjftsjthsd-h 3y agoCDDL is copyleft but not viral, which makes it much easier (read: politically possible) to include in a permissively licensed project than anything under a viral copyleft license like GPL.
- arp242 3y agoFreeBSD has tons of GPL code, including in the kernel. There's been some effort to move away from that, but it's far from a foregone conclusion that it's impossible to merge new GPL code. A bigger question would be "why bcachefs when we have a stable ZFS in base?"
