Oracle bought Sun and its patent portfolio in the process, including all
claims to any patents in ZFS. I simply will never trust them given what
they've already done.
I did give a full talk about this issue years ago.
https://marc.merlins.org/linux/talks/Btrfs-LC2014-JP/Btrfs.pdf
and go to page #5 and
https://www.theregister.com/2010/09/09/oracle_netapp_zfs_dismiss/
basically there likely are Netapp patents in ZFS too, but I'm less
worried about Netapp suing others for patents, and they did settle 
with Sun back in the days.
