This raises a whole bunch of questions, and none of the answers are good:<p>- What&#x27;s the difference between zfs and nvidia as binary blobs in the kernel? Either they are both incompatible on principle or they are not.<p>- If the file system just uses standard kernel file system APIs then isn&#x27;t it LGPL rather than GPL as per the exported symbols?<p>- Given that relicencing either ZFS or Linux are prohibitively impractical what exactly is the point of assuming that may happen?<p>- Who exactly complained about this? AFAIK the software conservancy doesn&#x27;t have code themselves in the two products<p>- If it goes to court the GPL may be harmed due to courts not understanding the difference between static and dynamic linking; who wins then?<p>It seems like the beginning of the mother of nobody wins, and very little upside in any case.
