While I don't know what they are, I'm sure we can't sue them. I think that release of useless code was, in part, fulfillment of the CDDL

Oh, come now. Don't ruin my fun! But seriously, if the code was truly useless, I have trouble believing that meets the requirements of a real license like CDDL.

Well I can only hope. It could be like the GPL, where you only have to provide the GPL'ed code (and any changes). I dunno.

Everyone, this is Michael Robinson, VP, Marketing for GreenBytes. I apologize for the radio silence re: ZEVO. I know everyone is waiting for some news on the future of the product. We are lining a few more things up internally, and you should be seeing a news story on GreenBytes and the future of ZEVO very soon - likely within the next week or so. Many thanks for your patience.

Hi Michael! Thank you so much for checking in. It's awesome to hear from the company. FYI, I think anxiety around here just peaked because it seems ZEVO does not work on Mavericks. So barring an intervention from GreenBytes to fix it, we all have to move on or stay with Mountain Lion indefinitely. People want to start planning ahead if that is the case.

This is very much my concern.

*Breaths a sigh of relief*
Thank you for the reply. I am looking forward to the announcement.

Dear GreenBytes, and Michael Robinson,

I while back I wanted to add some features to ZEVO that were important to me, ie, ZVOLs, lz4 and encryption. But alas, ZEVO's policy does not include
releasing sources. Not too surprising really.

So I started my own port of ZFS, currently called osx.zfs, but will probably be called MacZFS once it is ready. It currently in testing stage, benchmarking etc. It appears
to have promise, but a lot of work missing still. Although, I did add ZVOL support already.

But in most areas, I am still playing catch-up. However, I would still think it would be better for everyone, if ZEVO were to consider going open source.
You can still do your product and licenses the exact same you intended, with the additional assistance from people like myself who want more
features.

Anyway, it is unlikely, but I thought I would pose the question any way.

Feel free to give the development a whirl;

Was there ever an official update?

EDIT: Seriously?

I just popped in today looking for an update on the fate of ZEVO. I'm not sure what I'd replace ZEVO with if I had to, but I hope it's not a dead product.

For all intents and purposes, you should probably consider it a dead product until there's an loud announcement otherwise; that is how it's been for the last 9 months, and probably how it will remain.
