I've read the rhetoric on how great ZOL is and all that, but trusting something as important as the filesystem implementation to out-of-tree patches just seems fundamentally wrong. I would very much like to see this re-licensed under a GPL-compatible license.
I use a parity RAID scheme for redundancy, but I don't have true back-up media. I'm not gonna fuck around with out-of-tree filesystems.

In the meantime people in the real world would be happy with BSD licensed ZFS.

It's quite unlikely that ZFS will make it into any of my machines. I normaly have no problem with out of tree patches. But they can be removed at any time when upgrading to a new kernel. If I want a new kernel version and patches like BFS or BFQ haven't been rebased yet, that's no problem. The system will work without them. But once a patch is not optional and your data is in a ZFS filesystem, then you're locked in. Filesystems really need to be in the upstream kernel or use FUSE.

BSD is FSF and OpenSourceInitative approved
