Perhaps overcome with excitement (and forgetting that Apple doesn't like such pre-emptive disclosures), Sun's Jonathan Schwartz announced today at Sun event in D.C. that Apple would be making ZFS 'the file system' in OSX 10.5 Leopard. "In fact, this week you'll see that Apple is announcing at their Worldwide Developer Conference that ZFS has become the file system in Mac OS X."

Sun wants to see a Solaris rival against the other *nix platforms, no? Well having all it's competitive features mirrored in other OSes wont help accomplish that.
Sun doesn't care too much about OSX, FreeBSD or all the other unices around.
They are afraid of Linux, and that's why they accurately wrote the ZFS (and other key technologies) license to make it incompatible with the Linux kernel, still being an open license.
Sun is obviously pushing Solaris in the same battlefield where Linux is now, and they don't way to loose their competitive weapons.
It is sad from a Linux user point of view, but I think that this is a winning strategy for Sun.
