AFAIK, the open source ZFS "lives" on illumos, FreeBSD and zfsonlinux,
coordinated via OpenZFS.

The development seems to be independent from Sun/Oracle these days. I am
not aware of active contributions from Oracle but I am not 100% sure.

E.g. newest open source ZFS versions have "feature flags" instead of the
version numbers as used by Oracle.

For Russell: Have you seen this?

The first TODO entry is about file(1) and magic.
