The quoted announcement email also states that they believe that the next version of OpenSolaris will ship with GRUB 2.
If that happens, then Oracle will have explicitly distributed the code in question under the GPLv3, removing the possible ambiguity (not that I'm convinced it exists here).

Getting grubby with ZFS Posted Dec 9, 2010 2:47 UTC (Thu) by brouhaha (subscriber, #1698) [Link] Last I heard, OpenSolaris was dead, and thus there isn't going to be a "next version" of it released. Am I missing something?

Also curious.

My mistake. The exact text from the linked announcement is "Our understanding is that next version of Solaris will ship with GRUB 2".

Your original point remains valid though. If Oracle ships GRUB2 with the new code then they are explicitly licensing the ZFS stuff under GPL3.
