Wait, what?<p><i>ZFS was designed and implemented by a team at Sun led by Jeff Bonwick, Bill Moore[106] and Matthew Ahrens. It was announced on September 14, 2004,[107] but development started in 2001.[108] Source code for ZFS was integrated into the main trunk of Solaris development on October 31, 2005[28] and released as part of build 27 of OpenSolaris on November 16, 2005</i><p>In 2003, Linus could not have known about ZFS without some insight knowledge, nor if the people developing it had any knowledge about linux. It also contradict the claim that CDDL was choose for the explicit purpose to prevent ZFS being used on Linux and competing with Solaris.
