     @schestowitz @quix0rquitter If someone had a ref to the advice mentioned in http://shorl.com/dyhafybrenufra , I would appreciate it. Weird.

     @schestowitz @quix0rquitter Found this Feb 2016 report by SFLC: http://shorl.com/bojeprafrykuvi Seems to say "[it's ok, unless it isn't]".

     @clacke @quix0rquitter That was what I found #puzzling. There was recently lots of buzz about #Canonical / #Ubuntu #GPL non-compliance because of including #ZFS. How is #Debian going to stay compliant if it includes ZFS?

     @lnxw48 @clacke @quix0rquitter unless ZFS is relicensed to GPL or whoever has the rights to ZFS (Oracle?) grants the Debian project a special license the situation is unchanged.

     @clacke @quix0rquitter @lnxw48 I think @conservancy said that the preferred option would be for ZFS to be relicensed to something GPL compatible.

     Scenario:

     • ZFS is ships in the debian kernel
     • Subsequently a lot of ZFS installs happen on servers
     • Oracle sells ZFS copyright to Microsoft
     • Microsoft wants leverage against GNU/Linux. How can it pull the rug from a lot of rival systems?

     @bob @lnxw48 @conservancy @debian I was wrong! It goes into contrib, source-only. That explains the Debian side. SFLC post still weird.
