[OpenIndiana-discuss] zfs only to version 5 after upgrading to oi-151?

[Jonathan Adams]

Oracle have sorta said that they will release all the changes they
have made to ZFS (and some other changes) after they have finally
released Solaris 11, because the ZFS was "Open Source" ... and we
might then be able to incorporate the changes that they have made into
Illumos ...

However Oracle own the code, so if they want to change the License to
a non-"Open Source" one, they are probably within their rights ...

I don't usually complain if Samba does not work well with Microsoft
Windows ... I usually rejoice when it does, likewise I won't expect an
Open system to mirror one that is currently closed and without
specification.
