Is there any hope that the licensing issues with ZFS and Linux will ever be resolved so we can have ZFS in the kernel, booting from ZFS becomes integrated, etc.?

I run Arch, BTW. :D :D

I use ZFS as a file system on my 6TB drive, and it's glorious.

Problem is that occasionally ZFS is not in sync with the latest kernel releases. So I have had to freeze the version of my kernel to avoid disruptions.

I can then upgrade the kernel manually by using downgrade. And I created a tool to tell me if it is safe to upgrade the kernel without breaking ZFS.

I would love if the the licensing issues are resolved. I hate Btrfs, even though it has SOME of the functionality of ZFS.

I want to be able to boot from ZFS, and with some work I can actually create an iso that will allow me to do that, but I am loathe do set that up because of what would happen if the kernel and ZFS should ever get out of sync.

Is there any effort to resolve the license headache? I am NOT switching to BSD.
