At the moment, only to 'decouple' ZFS development from Illumos development. |

Changing a license require the approval of all rightsholders, and that |
| 23 |
takes time. |

At least, with a decoupling, ZFS can quickly improve to fulfill the |
| 26 |
needs of its users, no longer depending on Illumos' dev cycle. |
