http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2010/06/uptake-of-native-linux-zfs-port-hampered-by-license-conflict.ars

"The CDDL does not restrict modification and release of the ZFS source
code which is publicly available as part of OpenSolaris. The ZFS code
can be modified to build as a CDDL licensed kernel module which is not
distributed as part of the Linux kernel. This makes a Native ZFS on
Linux implementation possible if you are willing to download and build
it yourself."

and if you want to try building ZFS module or download RPM packages
