FreeBSD's ZFS support is based on Suns' CDDLed code though, isn't it? (Corollary: if so, that code can not be in FreeBSD core).

So, turns out that parts of the FreeBSD loader(8) required to support RAIDZ are CDDL-licensed; the rest, which looks like it could boot from e.g. mirrored pool, is BSD-licensed. Still, from the user point of view it doesn't matter - it's compiled in by default and "just works".
