I assume we are talking about the risk of litigation from Oracle (ZFS owner), right? Canonical decided in 2016 that the risk was low enough to take a chance and include ZFS in Ubuntu: https://ubuntu.com/blog/zfs-licensing-and-linux Canonical earned $138 million in revenue in 2020, after earning more than $100M in previous years as well [0]. So, they have a lot at stake when taking that chance. There are disagreements about whether or not the licenses in question are compatible, but there is no definitive answer, only speculation and rhetoric. Until then, all we can do is apply our values, balance our options, and make a decision.
