Don't go too far people. Linus's criticism against ZFS is concise: buzzword & licensing.

Here, Linus is putting emphasis on license, not technical whatever details of ZFS. He clearly doesn't use ZFS and is not even interested in the problem ZFS solves. He is only "interested" is his (and community's) control over the ZFS source code.

So, his logic basically becomes this:

ZFS is not mainline-able, so veto it until Oracle changes its attitude - a simple old FOSS infestation tactic.

So, please, move on, people. The discussion is not even about file system...
