And there's no patent grant for re-implementations (you have to use the 
CDDL code to get patent grants).  Without patent problems, I'm confident 
it would have been re-implemented a couple years ago with GPL code - ZFS 
was only about 6K LOC.

I have some hope Oracle will license OpenSolaris under the same license 
as all of their other open source projects (GPL).

If not, btrfs seems like a good thing to switch to c. 2013.
