ZFS on Linux: Copyright and Licensing Issues (pdf created april 2013)
This was written by a lawyer, but the disclaimer is this is a cursory
evaluation, not legal advice.

But I still predict bigger obstacles. I just don't see how it'd ever
be OK to have a tainted kernel being used on installer media, and
that'd have to be the case in order to get install time support,
either for root fs or even as just /data or /srv storage. I'd eat my
hat (and a billy goat) if any of either the kernel, QA, or installer
teams were OK with this. It's too much work and risk for very little
upside. So it'd be a post-install package at best no matter what, in
which case what's the advantage of it being offered by Fedora rather
than from the ZoL org folks?
