Oracle's implementation of ZFS is Proprietary software. The original version was developed with an open source model By Sun microsystems, which was bought by oracle. And Oracle contributing to the Linux Kernel with BTRFS isn't that ground breaking

Still, no one else did it... I mean, after RaiserFS, was there another FS released under GPL that was a viable alternative to EXT*?

BTRFS, which works great as long as you accept its limitations.

Correct... don't like that, but yes, that is correct.

which works great as long as you accept its limitations.

This can be said of cannibalism, fascism and the GoP also. Just, some have massive limitations you'll be accepting, but the statement is still true.

Well, openZFS is quite good, but it's license is incompatible with the GPL

Yeah, that's why is not in the kernel, it's a separate package.
