Hello Are there any plans to bring ZFS support to OpenBSD so that users don't have to worry about things like fsck, running out of inodes and other silly stuff in the year 2010? Thanks. - Sincerely, Dan Naumov
if you can get oracle to change the license to something acceptable to the openbsd tree then id consider porting it.
Nope. Check the archives for repeated discussions. The license is still unsuitable last time I looked, if nothing else. .... Ken

1. Read a bit: http://openbsd.org/policy.html 2. You're completely froo to move to another OS. The weird thing is your ignorance and disrespect.

Maybe because FreeBSD or NetBSD doesn't care so much about problems with laws against their users in feature? Integrate good code from any source with acceptable copyright (ISC or Berkeley style preferred, GPL acceptable as a last recourse but not in the kernel, NDA never acceptable). We want to make available source code that anyone can use for ANY PURPOSE, with no restrictions. We strive to make our software robust and secure, and encourage companies to use whichever pieces they want to. There are commercial spin-offs of OpenBSD. http://www.openbsd.org/policy.html OT: Hammer FS looks like better candidate from this point of view -- http://www.openbsd.org/lyrics.html
Yes, it sure is weird that they are like wind in the wind, merging more ad more non-free stuff every year. It does not make it OK for us, though.
