Please Oracle make ZFS GPL as Btrfs is. :)
- rbanffy 17y agoWhile you are at it, please, make it GPLv2+ so it can be linked with the rest of the Linux kernel ;-)
- ciupicri 17y agoOr even better BSD so that BSDs can integrate it, too.
- bd_ 17y agoBSDs already can; the problem is GPLv2 doesn't let you link with _anything_ else. FreeBSD, for example: http://wiki.freebsd.org/ZFS http://wiki.freebsd.org/ZFS
- ciupicri 17y agoThat's right, I forgot about FreeBSD :-D Anyway, I still wonder with what other licenses it is incompatible.
- zts 17y agoOn the contrary - GPL doesn't let you link with much that isn't GPL. BSD and CDDL - which ZFS is licensed under - are far more open.
- ajross 17y agoMust we have this flame war again? Or if you insist, can you please at least pack your arguments into one post, complete with competing definitions of "free", and "open", and sneering sideways attacks at the other side's development model or developer personalities?
