<p dir="ltr">Just as OpenOffice and "Office" (TM owned by Microsoft) can coexist (from a trademark law perspective, at least) it is likely that ZFS and OpenZFS can. </p>

I really hate to plug my business on a list, but this is what i do.
I teach classes on zfs. If anyone is interested I thought I would
put it out there...<br>
<br>
<a href="http://kateleyco.com" target="_blank">kateleyco.com</a><br>
<br>
Most of the work I do is for a bunch of smallish zfs startups. I am
actually creating freenas content right now.<br>
<br>
The reason I was hesitant on saying something definitive is I hadn't
checked the news yet today. There can always be news. In april of
last year Oracle reapplied for trademark on the word zfs. I have
been waiting for them to do something with that :)<br>

You are correct. OpenZFS is open source among ports.
ZFS is not.<br>
<br>
</div>
It may be just a matter of semantics. When Oracle
acquired Sun, it locked down Solaris and everything that
belongs to it, including ZFS. OpenZFS was developed as
part of OpenSolaris which is now discontinued.<br>
<br>
</div>
What I should have said is Solaris ZFS is no longer open
source which is irrelevant in this case so I stand
corrected.<br>

So I am starting to

one that is<br>
10 minutes to Time

maybe<br>
take a peak? Give me
only positive feedback
