First of all, thanks a lot for all the hard work of both the FreeBSD 
developers as the ZFS developers. I can't wait to give it a go.

That leads me to one question though: Why is *BSD able to bring it into 
the OS as where Linux has licensing problems with the CDDL? AFAIK Linux 
users can only run it in userland mode and not in kernel mode because of 
the licenses.

I don't really know the differences between all the licenses, so feel 
free to correct me if I'm saying something stupid.

Thanks,
