Fedora has it's own rules and can ship or not ship what they want.  I'm
perfectly fine with that.  As I previously stated, IMO BTRFS is a much
better choice.  My point was simply that I don't believe saying it would be
a GPL violation to include ZFS in a Linux distribution is one of them.  If
it were, I can't imagine Canonical would be doing it.
