I'm interested to see how this plays out in actuality. It almost sounded like source code wouldn't necessarily be shared until major release were made... which would obviously make it hard for third party ZFS vendors to "keep up" in the interim.
You are right that this internal document does not describe when source would be released. Perhaps it might be released after every update release, or it might be released every seven years.
My own feeling is that existing engineers inherited from Sun may have some strong personal feelings about this and may feel betrayed if Oracle (again) does not do what it said it was going to do. Betrayed engineers may jump ship for the competition. High caliber engineers are very difficult to obtain.
