There should be no reason for CDDL to not be includable under GPL license. Canonical does include it for example.

This would eliminate any ambiguity, ZFS would simply be GPL now.

If you replaced CDDL with GPL you’d lose patent protection. Good luck with Oracle lawyers.

Most of the relevant ZFS patents already expired, I don't think there is anything for the Oracle lawyers. Plus i live in a country where Software patents aren't recognized, so double good luck to Oracle.
