If it is the case, then I don't think that Guix needs to do anything about this except prevent our CI infrastructure from building the ZFS module. We wouldn't need to hardcode any restrictions into the Guix codebase. We have created these kinds of CI restrictions in the past. Already it's possible to create combinations of programs with incompatible free software licenses, as a user. Is this particular combination (ZFS and Linux) special in some way?
