ZFS on linux or/and Opensolaris Gpl V2/3
All the teasing (last video from jonathan) in the last time pointed at an outcome like getting zfs/dtrace and maybe the rest of opensolaris under a second license gpl v2/3.
Now we got the entry on Jeff Bonwick’s blog. Look at the pics and read the text between them…
(if you don’t know, Bonwick is the leader of the ZFS design team and Sun’s CTO of Storage Technologies)
To understand the text between watch the video of the "Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups" comercial.
For me the only questions left are just how much of opensolaris will be dual licensed, under which gpl version (v2 or v3), did SUN already port the zfs to linux and will they hire Linus (heaven forbid)
zfs under GPL und im Kernel?
Aktuell gehen einige Gerüchte umher, nach denen evtl. Sun zfs unter die GPL stellen möchte. Somit währe der Weg frei zfs in Linux aufzunehmen und es müsste nicht mehr über FUSE laufen.
Besonders geschürt werden diese Gerüchte von Jeff Bonwick …
