Subject: OpenZFS, oracle zfs, and Linus

Hey Door and Bruce,

We got asked a couple of us who use ZFS our opinions on the article about Linus saying “don’t use ZFS.” So I thought I would also share my comments with you guys.

First of all, ZoL and ZoF and all of the other ZFS’ (MS is coming out with a port, and OSX has one, I believe) are using OpenZFS, which is not the same as Oracle ZFS. They took the last open source Sun version of ZFS and forked that. Oracle has since closed their ZFS implementation, so the code in oracle zfs has diverged from the code of OpenZFS. And what’s more, OpenZFS has many of the original Sun developers who invented ZFS for Sun, such as Matt Ahrens, working on the project.

Second, OpenZFS is under the Sun CDDL license, which is an opensource license. The GPL doesn’t play nicely with it, in the same manner as they don’t play nicely with the BSD or MIT or Apache licenses. Because the GPL (especially v3) is as vendor-lock-in-y as the best ms or apl licenses (or oracle, for that matter). So, not being a lawyer, I have to ask if litigous larry can sue a project like linux or freebsd for using an open source project, which openZFS is?

What I would ideally like to see is for someone to put together an OpenZFS foundation. That should be an umbrella organization that could protect anyone from lawsuits. (again, I am not a lawyer).

Also, regarding shared resource clustering, that concept has been around since the late 90s. I remember in 1998 or 1999, Mosix clusters were available. Basically, you had a kernel module that would run on all of your local machines, and donate their spare cycles to anyone with extra load needing more compute power. seti@home or folding@home have also been around for that length of time as well...

Subject: Just one Windows program keeping me from totally moving..

Message Body:
I have a Windows 7 machine and would love to totally switch to Mint (until I learn more) all the way. But I have one Windows program that I work in every day that doesn’t want to convert through Wine. It seems to hang on the dot net install. The program (OliveTree Bible) has an old version (.exe) that I have and a current version that is in the Windows Store. Of course they have made many improvements to the current version but I’m using the older version on the Win 7 machine and that’s fine with me. I’m new to Linux and am wondering if you think there is any hope in getting that over from the dark side? I have reached out to OliveTree but they just come back with the ole we only support Windows and Mac’s verbiage. Can you make any suggestions or point me in the right direction? I don’t want to give up on this.

Thanks,

Mark
