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.

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.

This is weird, it is claimed that CDDL is going against the BSD
philosophy, yet both FreeBSD and NetBSD didn't have any problems
including it in their base...

Yes indeed, FreeBSD and NetBSD are weird.

1. Read a bit:

2. You're completely froo to move to another OS.

The weird thing is your ignorance and disrespect.

Curiosity is not disrespect and self-realized ignorance is obviously
leading to curiosity. This is normal human behavior.
Your open hostility on another hand IS weird.

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.

OT: Hammer FS looks like better candidate from this point of view

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.
