Essentially: I want to use Linux and ZFS. I don't particularly care about
licences or any of the rest of that nonsense.
The license that protects the code we write is far from nonsense.
The code is there; it merely
needs to be made to work with Linux. Done and done -- provided I can find
some one to do this for me (I'd do it myself, but I haven't the foggiest
notion how to go about such a feat).
I suggest the first thing you do is contact the ZFS developers and
convince them to release their code under a license that's GPL
compatible, then we can start looking at a Linux port.
By the way, forget about this FUSE business. I don't know why they're
bothering: It's not real, it's slow and, in general, silly.
FUSE is nice for trying out new and interresting ideas in userspace -
it has its uses.
What are the thoughts of the Linux community?
Can't tell you that, all I can tell you is my own oppinion. I believe
ZFS for Linux would be interresting, if not for any other reason then
for compatibility. I'd personally like to see it - but, settle the
license issue first.
