I'm contemplating moving my #NAS from #OpenZFS to #BTRFS (because the #GPL incompatible #CDDL license has always irked me; I'm a zealot, I know). Back in days of yore I decided against it because of serious issues in BTRFS, e.g. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/09/examining-btrfs-linuxs-perpetually-half-finished-filesystem/ Does any non-fan-person have some reliable info on the current state of things?

AFAIU #ZFS is #FreeSoftware.
The #FSF critizes its #CDDL license for another concern:
> This is a free software license. It has a weak per-file copyleft (like version 1 of the #MozillaPublicLicense) which makes it incompatible with the #GNU #GPL. This means a module covered by the GPL and a module covered by the CDDL cannot legally be linked together.
> We urge you not to use the #CDDL for this reason.

RFC 9165: Additional Control Operators for CDDL
Le langage #CDDL est un langage de description de schémas de données, notamment pour le format #CBOR. Ce nouveau #RFC étend CDDL avec de nouveaux opérateurs, permettant entre autres l'addition d'entiers et la concaténation de chaines de caractères.
Btw, folks fleshing out RFCs at #IETF104, I wrote a CDDL syntax highlighter recently: https://github.com/hellp/sublime-cddl-syntax/
Sublime Text format – *may* be compatible with other editors; I don’t know any, though. Also works with some static site generators and markdown libs (e.g. Zola fka. Gutenberg). Pygments lexer is in the works, too.
