And there lies the problem, you need the agreement of all copyright holders in a GPL project to change it's licensing terms and some just will not budge.

Joerg is correct that CDDL code can legally live right alongside the GPLv2 kernel code and run in the same program. It is a "mind set" issue with the Linux developers rather than a legal one.

If ZFS was not tied to a big greedy controlling company then the Linux kernel developers would be more likely to change their mind.
