The Software Freedom Conservancy saying that is a bit scary. I am somewhat less afraid of Linux copyright holders suing.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Canonical is taking a calculated risk here that Oracle doesn't actually care, or would be actively helpful if it meant spiting Redhat.

Of course Oracle also owns part of the copyright to the kernel. They still employ some kernel developers. And oracle could certainly sue distributors for violating their copyright (not on zfs, but on Linux)
