Hello zfs-discuss,

Are they so afraid they have to write such bullshit!?
The most annoying part to me is this bit:
"2 . ZFS does not support the necessary extended attributes and ACLs to
enable the implementation of SELinux security. Instead Sun prefers the
deployment of its own security software "Trusted Solaris", which is
not FOSS and runs at a cost of "$995 per seat for the Standard Edition
Desktop System to $79,495 for the Certified Edition Data Center
Server.""
While that is true for Trusted Solaris 8 it is most certainly NOT true
for Solaris Trusted Extensions. The only part of Trusted Extensions
that is not currently under an OSI approved license is the modifications
to CDE because we can't produce that.
Whats more ZFS DOES have ACLs and DOES have extended attributes.
SELinux is the new guy on the block, Trusted Solaris is older than all
of Linux!
The rest is just uninformed licensing related fud.
More fool them for not getting it!
