What about Proxmox?

They are a commercial slightly modified Debian distro who have been shipping ZFS with their ISOs and ready to use out of the box, even from the installer wizard for zfs on root installs for around a year now.

Nobody has said anything about them doing this or sued them or tried to stop them.

They are distributing the ZFS on linux binary kernel module pre-instated as Canonical is about to do with Ubuntu.

Who?

Edit: Oracle seems to have very little reason to do anything for precedent. Canonical is both competition and a largish business, that would be done for the money, suing proxmox would look like being a bully.
