You must have missed the part that determined that integrated ZFS is 
easily doable via a simple ebuild (they said it didn't even need to be 
in an overlay) containing the code to do the integration at compile time.

So, yes, it *could* easily be done without any fear of licensing issues.

The question is, will someone with the knowledge and skills of how to do 
it right also have the desire to do the work.
