They took the entire Solaris code back to proprietary source and kept improving ZFS themselves. For instance, they added encryption.

Even if Oracle evaporated and their contemporary ZFS source became unencumbered, I doubt OpenZFS would want to try and merge significantly parts. They already have their own encryption implementation for example.
