Heh. Nice one :-) Anyway maybe I used really bad wording. With ZFS and Dtrace I meant only that that there were couple of threads in misc@ when people asked for support of it and because of that "new approach" of Joyent to GPL/CDDL it seems possible in theory (not that we want it or need it). Regarding filesystems I like Hammer FS more ;-) . My post was meant completely licenses related. Because I just don't think that it's possible to mix CDDL with GPL in that way or even BSD with CDDL (thx to some patent related parts of that license. There's couple of projects which started from OpenSolaris code, but all of them are under CDDL which was created by Sun and Oracle get all of it. Maybe if some of those projects will be enough popular (more then Oracle stuff) then Oracle will step in with suits. At least CDDL sounds like good weapon for that for me.
