+_Description: Abort building ZFS on a 32-bit kernel?
+ You are attempting to build ZFS against a 32-bit running kernel.

- At the moment ZFS will build in a 32-bit environment but it is
- UNSUPPORTED and will likely cause instability and may lead to data
- corruption. You are strongly encouraged to use ZFS on a 64-bit kernel.

Type: boolean
Default: true
-Description: Stop the build since your running kernel is unknown?
- Couldn't determine if your running kernel is 64-bit or 32-bit.
+_Description: Abort building ZFS on an unknown kernel?
+ You are attempting to build ZFS against a running kernel that could not
+ be identified as 32-bit or 64-bit. If you are not completely sure that
+ the running kernel is a 64-bit one, you should probably stop the build.

- that your running kernel is a 64-bit one. If is not the case, or

+Type: note
+_Description: Licenses of ZFS and Linux are incompatible
+ ZFS is licensed under the Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL),
+ and the Linux kernel is licensed under the GNU General Public License Version 2
+ (GPL-2). While both are free open source licenses they are restrictive
+ licenses. The combination of them causes problems because it prevents using
+ pieces of code exclusively available under one license with pieces of code
+ exclusively available under the other in the same binary.
.
- Keep in mind that if you decide to continue using ZFS on a 32-bit kernel
- is at your own risk.
+ You are going to build ZFS using DKMS in such a way that they are not going to
+ be built into one monolithic binary. Please be aware that distributing both of
+ the binaries in the same media (disk images, virtual appliances, etc) may
+ lead to infringing.
