This was the reason, why it could be ported = to the=20 BSDs. So why do you believe there is a "license hurdle"? Also note: btrfs now is three years old. ZFS was started aprox. 10 years = ago. For this reason, btrfs is expected to need another 7 years to readh the l= evel=20 of stability currently seen with ZFS.
