I don't think that's quite right. OpenZFS is a thing that is consumed (and pushed forward) by both FreeBSD and Linux; FreeBSD isn't following Linux, they just both use the same thing. (Which is why it isn't named ZoL anymore; it isn't supposed to be Linux-centric)

Correct! It was created out of the ZoL project (because most people worked there instead of the illumos base) and now it transformed into OpenZFS with the Goal:
