Actually, bringing ZFS to Linux is *more* likely under Oracle, since Oracle is not so Linux-paranoid, but I think that for the next year or two, everything Sun is completely up-in-the-air.
Sure there might be (is?) a FUSE implementation, but it'll be woefully slower than an in-kernel implementation.
FUSE on what I consider reasonable hardware is tolerable, but, yeah, it could be better.
