No, the only real issue is the license and I highly doubt Oracle will

You're saying Oracle wants to keep zfs out of Linux?
I would if I were them, wouldn't you?
I'm not sure either way.
If Oracle really wants to keep it out of Linux, that means it wants
to keep it out of FreeBSD also. Either way, to keep it out it needs
to make it closed source, and as they say, the genie is already out
of the bottle.
I don't agree that there's a licensing problem, but that doesn't matter.
Distributions, which is how nearly EVERYONE uses Linux, are free to
include zfs on their own. All the major distributions already patch
the kernel heavily.
