When we'll have more infos on if that is free or if we consider it as
free until proven otherwise, we still have two remaining issues to deal
with:
- On some architectures (for instance i686) the kernel module doesn't
  build. Should we disable the module? Add support for these
  architectures? Or disable zfs as a dependency of Gnome?
- Images with the zfs modules won't be redistributable. So if we keep
  the ability to build the zfs module, would it be possible to add
  opt-in or opt-out settings to make sure that the images are still
  redistributable without violating the GPL?
  Or will all users always need to use transformations for that?

Here's the build error I have with i686:
