The other question that I am less worried about is would this violate any
patents.. I mean.. Sun added the initial zfs support to grub and this is
essentially extending that, but I'm not aware of any patent provisions on
that code or some royalty free statement about ZFS related patents from
Sun.. (Frankly.. I look at Sun as /similar/ to Cononical in that I assume
they only sue to protect themselves and not go after any good intention foss
project..)

See http://opensolaris.org/os/about/faq/licensing_faq/#patents.
Sun has contributed zfs code to their grub fork, but it's not under the CDDL. So this doesn't apply.
