@mjg59 @idlestate Yes, but nobody cares anymore. Most of our ability to push for real change seems to have gone away sometime after 2011. People don't care anymore about FOSS and supporting communities, or even building them in the first place.

@mjg59 @idlestate From what I could gather, the reason it is *still* this way is not technical or legal.

@idlestate @Conan_Kudo I don't think that would have any impact here - NetApp would have the opportunity to FUD that using OpenZFS under the GPL rather than the CDDL wouldn't qualify for the patent grants, and the OIN would tell them to fuck right off
