This is nonsense. The problem is not getting ZFS bundled with Linux like he is implying here. The problem is how Linux artificially restricts what APIs your module is able to access based on the license, so you wouldn't be able to use ZFS even by your own prerogative like he is suggesting.

He is claiming that it comes down to the user's choice, which would be just fine if that were true. The only problem here is that Linux has purposely taken steps to hinder that choice.
