     longDescription = ''
-
       ZFS is a filesystem that combines a logical volume manager with a
       Copy-On-Write filesystem with data integrity detection and repair,
       snapshotting, cloning, block devices, deduplication, and more.

-      LICENSE NOTE: the Linux kernel is licensed under the GNU General Public
-      License which is incompatible with ZFS which is licensed under the Sun CDDL.
-      While both the GPL and CDDL are open source licenses their terms are such that
-      it is impossible to simultaneously satisfy both licenses. This means that a
-      single derived work of the Linux kernel and ZFS cannot be legally distributed.
-
-      The ZFS code can be modified to build as a CDDL licensed kernel module
-      which is not distributed as part of the Linux kernel. This makes a Native ZFS
-      on Linux implementation possible if you are willing to download and build it
-      yourself.
