Ya... That may have just a bit to do with the fact that ZFS is released under a licence that was explicitly designed to be incompatible with Linux.

"Mozilla was selected partially because it is GPL incompatible. That was part of the design when they released OpenSolaris. ... the engineers who wrote Solaris ... had some biases about how it should be released, and you have to respect that."

I can see how that might suggest to Linux maintainers that they are not welcome to use this code. Maybe sorta.
