> Just because Shuttleworth thinks he cant be sued by Oracle for including ZFS in Ubuntu with some hastily reasoned shim doesnt mean Oracle wont nonchalantly send his entire company to the graveyard just for trying.

Canonical has been shipping the kernel with ZFS for more than 7 years and so far they have not been sued by Oracle.

Oracle doesn't sue for fun and Canonical isn't exactly a massively successful company financially speaking. However one day it will want something from Canonical and that is the day the lawyers will come out. Possibly once there's IPO money in it's coffers to go after.

Except Oracle has no capability to sue anyone over OpenZFS.
