The idea I used some years ago when convincing the *BSD people to include
ZFS was that the CDDL is compatible to the BSD license and that ZFS could
be seen as "optional", so it still is possible to have a BSD installation
that does not need ZFS.
Judging this way, you may still build a 100% BSD OS even though everybody could
add ZFS.
