So, can you answer me this... Why would there be a problem if someone decided to create a 3rd party overlay *not* part of the official gentoo portage tree that contained *only* the zfs stuff, and when this overlay was installed combined with a zfs keyword for the kernel, portage would then pull in the required files, and automagically build a kernel with an up to date version of zfs properly and fully integrated? Would this not work, *and* have no problems with licensing?
