Not quite the first, but likely to end up one of the most wide spread. The DRM graphics drivers are actually older than ZFS and have been MIT licensed from the beginning (they started from older MIT licensed X11 projects). There's also possibly some other's from the BSD projects (network drivers and such) that are even older than those.
- oscargrouch 13y agoyeah, but in those cases you have cited, the interested party get the source and implements it on its own codebase himself eg. microsoft using bsd network layer on windows and freebsd porting linux drm to its own kernel.. this is different.. its aggregated as a product that target several os´s with different implementations for each kernel, but shareing only one core codebase.. this tends to be much more stable and cheap to everybody.. less bug prone, etc.. didnt heard of anything like it..
