Ubuntu and ZFS: Possibly Illegal, Definitely Exciting
The project originally known as the Zettabyte File System was born the same year that Windows XP began shipping.

It was a filesystem built for the future.
Fifteen years later, it’s the future. Though it’s a teenager now, ZFS’s features remain attractive enough that Canonical – the company behind the Ubuntu distribution – wants to ship ZFS as a default. Which wouldn’t seem terribly controversial as it’s an open source project, except for the issue of its licensing.
