Well, there's a dark horse here called "patents". Nobody really knows the full extent of who's got what or what covers what between the likes of Sun (ZFS/Stotek), NetApp (WAFL) and IBM (ARC?). Maybe this patent game will just end up being like the cold war with nuclear missiles...and the only real winners being the lawyers and patents office collecting $$.
