Ummm... I didn't suggest that ZFS be shipped with or distributed with
the kernel...
I was talking about some kind of overlay or patch system, where I could
add zfs to my kernel use flag, and it would pull the gentoo-sources from
wherver it pulls them, and pul;l the patch from a *separate*/*different*
source/location, and then put the patch where it needs to go to be
properly compiled into the kernel.
Again, the overlay would *not* contain or provide the kernel sources,
only the zfs 'patch'.
I don't see a problem with that.

On the issue of whether ZFS can be shipped with the Linux kernel, FreeBSD
includes ZFS with the kernel, binary and source.
So does that mean it would be OK for Linux too?
FreeBSD has a different license (BSD) than Linux (GPL 2 or 3).
I am not a lawyer!
