Will Oracle start using patent suits to try to stop people

Whether you think concerns like these will prove reasonable in the long
run, they make a lot more sense than assuming that Alejandro just wonders
if the CDDL is "dangerous" somehow.
I would be surprised. Oracle (real Oracle, not Sun) is still the primary
developer of btrfs on Linux. They are pretty much going for feature
parity with ZFS and want people to actually use it. If they start suing
over ZFS patents which are certainly applicable to btrfs, it will have
repercussions on that side.
