Actually, a good lawyer is going to be extremely cautious on matters like this: if you ask "If I take action X, am I taking a legal risk?", the lawyer's going to be off and running, generating lots of billable hours giving you all the possible scenarios where something can go wrong. He/she isn't just going to tell you what you want to hear.

FUSE is in user space, so I would think that a FUSE filesystem can have a GPL-incompatible license. But IANAL.

Fortunately, the CEO himself is a good lawyer, so he can run around (which he does, running) as much as he wants for free :-)
