&gt;The other reply [1] nails the real point: No one at Oracle is complaining.<p>Canonical hasn&#x27;t shipped their distro with the ZFS kernel module yet. My impression of Oracle is that they let their lawsuits do the talking.<p>&gt;You also ignore the binary kernel object point: Nvidia&#x27;s drivers are completely proprietary and closed source. How is that in any way less of a violation?<p>AFAIK NVidia&#x27;s drivers are not a default part of any distribution (including Ubuntu from Canonical) and has to be enabled&#x2F;installed explicitly by the end user, meanwhile Canonical said they were going to make the ZFS kernel module part of their default distribution.
