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.
I know. In the end, this is the reason this topic is being discussed.
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.
I began by contacting them. One of the devs there told me to contact the
Linux devs.
FUSE is nice for trying out new and interresting ideas in userspace -
it has its uses.
Yes, but it is not really for the end-user. To paraphrase another, it is
mostly academic.
What are the thoughts of the Linux community?
Can't tell you that, all I can tell you is my own oppinion.
You make up a member of the Linux community.
I believe
ZFS for Linux would be interresting, if not for any other reason then
for compatibility.
For the greater glory of Linux? :-)
I'd personally like to see it - but, settle the
license issue first.
And we've come full circle: The liconsinc issue.
