There is a lot of missunderstandings with the GPL.
Porting ZFS to Linux wouldnotmake ZFS a "derived work" from Linux.
I do not see why anyone could claim that there is a need to publish ZFS under
GPL in case you use it on Linux. The CDDL however allows you to use it together
with _any_ other license. So where is the problem?
