I just read with some concern the announcement that Sun's ZFS has 
been integrated into the FreeBSD kernel. This would mean, 
unfortunately, that FreeBSD is now covered by the CDDL, which is a 
viral license similar to the GPL. Has FreeBSD abandoned its 
longstanding practice of keeping the kernel truly free?
