The only exposure that ZFS has is Patent Based. Some of the interesting ones are expiring in the next four to five years:

They'll all expire eventually. ZFS (like) file systems will eventually be very succesful.

Yes, that's all in the "like". In 4 or 5 years, btrfs and others will mature and ZFS will look less exceptional. That, and ZFS has a major culprit which will become more annoying with time : it's not cluster-aware.
