No, you can't rip off everything and put it in Linux just because someone put it out another another license and made it public. ZFS will contaminate Linux. There's already plenty of FS's in Linux as it is, and who cares about some broken piece of crap from Solaris anyway. Putting ZFS into Linux would help Sun in any event and not Linux.
