It seems like we're really on the subject of filesystems and related technology the past few days. We had an interview with the man behind BeServed, an item on WinFS' current status, and now we - possibly - have news on ZFS coming to Linux. Possibly, because it's all speculation from here on out.

I doubt it's that easy.
The OpenSolaris governance board already decided that GPLv3 is a nogo for the time being. Linus is also opposing the GPLv3, not to mention all the contributor agreements he'd have to get on a license change.
Linus has been saying that he doesn't like GPLv3 as much as GPLv2, but he also said that if Sun makes ZFS to be GPLv3 he will *probably* adopt it.

Maybe there'll be binary modules with source code glue a la NVidia drivers. We'll see. Maybe they're just doing a prank.
