Dear Jorgen,

Don't worry - AFAICT thisis the first time ZFS came up here.

Technically it should be no unsolvable problem to add ZFS support to
U-Boot.  However, there are the same licensing issues that prevent ZFS
to be included with the Linux kernel; see
http://zfsonlinux.org/faq.html#WhatAboutTheLicensingIssue

Like Linux, U-Boot is released under GPL (v2+), which is not
compatible with the Sun CDDL.

Best regards,
