BSDs 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.
