I believe that Bryan Cantrill has stated that it was surprising to the people at Sun when outside parties didn&#x27;t start incorporating ZFS and other technologies into Linux, because the original intention when the CDDL was written was <i>not</i> to be GPL-incompatible.<p>Edit: dwrensha posted a related comment (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=11176361" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=11176361</a>) with a YouTube link of Bryan making the statement.
