    That’s true, but we also know that funding can come with stipulations. Oracle is an especially sketchy company.

    But that counts for all big tech I guess.

      So not using Linux at all then? Most of the development is paid for by big tech.

      In this situation it works well, IMO. For some more context, ZFS was created by Sun (FOSS). Oacle bought them and built Oracle ZFS out of it. OpenZFS forked at that point from Sun code, and that’s what we use in Linux/etc. The Oracle variant supplies support to the FOSS variant. So Oracle has no control over OpenZFS.
