The Global File System goes full circle

A Holocene discussion on the lkml analyzed the possibility of a Linux execution of Sun's ZFS.
Licenses involved cover file system _code_, rather than storage format.
That is openly specified. Just stand up and implement driver for zfs
format from scratch under whatever license you want. This is exactly how
Linux supports "foreign" file systems.
What are the thoughts of the Linux community?
