Which appears to agree with everything I said not what you are claiming.

The patent license is strictly tied to their implementation and its
derivatives under the CDDL, so specifically acts to exclude Linux.

I thought you said "incompatible with other OS products". I believe there are other OS products it is quite compatible with. The ports of ZFS seem to confirm this.

That it is compatible with the Linux kernel was not what I was arguing. :)
