You assume that closed source software makes sense under any circumstances.
In any event, given that GreenBytes seems to have concluded that it can't make a sufficient return on continued ZEVO development, I suspect it will be a very hard sell to convince a buyer that, unlike GreenBytes, the buyer will be able to make a sufficient return on their investment—all the more so, given that such a buyer would be the FOURTH business to make a go at ZFS for OS X (Apple, Ten's Complement, GreenBytes).
My prediction is that this product is completely dead in the water, unless a buyer magically appears very quickly or GreenBytes decides to free the source very soon.
