It depends on exactly what FSF knows and how Canonical is planning to do this. It is not safe to assume FSF is even aware of all the details here. If you want FSF's opinion, they have a public contact address for licensing questions and respond pretty quickly. Note that FSF's opinion although influential does not determine what Fedora legally can ship. That has to be approved by Red Hat legal as well.And ... Fedora does not ship third party kernel modules.
Fedora has it's own rules and can ship or not ship what they want. I'm perfectly fine with that. As I previously stated, IMO BTRFS is a much better choice. My point was simply that I don't believe saying it would be a GPL violation to include ZFS in a Linux distribution is one of them. If it were, I can't imagine Canonical would be doing it.
