ZFS Licensing and Linux
&gt; Our conclusion is good for Ubuntu users, good for Linux, and good for all of free and open source software<p>I would say that your conclusion is bad for linux and bad for all of free software. Because if linking your non-gpl-licensed binary blob with the GPLed kernel is legal then linking any other non-gpl-licensed binary blobs with any other GPL binary is also legal and thus the GPL is completely worthless.<p>Is it worth setting such a precedent over the ability to run ZFS on Linux?
