4_Description: Abort building ZFS on a 32-bit kernel?
5 You are attempting to build ZFS against a 32-bit running kernel.

7 Although possible, building in a 32-bit environment is unsupported and
8 likely to cause instability leading to possible data corruption. You
9 are strongly advised to use a 64-bit kernel; if you do decide to
10 proceed with using ZFS on this kernel then keep in mind that it is at
11 your own risk.

16_Description: Abort building ZFS on an unknown kernel?
17 You are attempting to build ZFS against a running kernel that could not
18 be identified as 32-bit or 64-bit. If you are not completely sure that
19 the running kernel is a 64-bit one, you should probably stop the build.

29_Description: Licenses of ZFS and Linux are incompatible
30 ZFS is licensed under the Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL),
31 and the Linux kernel is licensed under the GNU General Public License Version 2
32 (GPL-2). While both are free open source licenses they are restrictive
33 licenses. The combination of them causes problems because it prevents using
34 pieces of code exclusively available under one license with pieces of code
35 exclusively available under the other in the same binary.

37 You are going to build ZFS using DKMS in such a way that they are not going to
38 be built into one monolithic binary. Please be aware that distributing both of
39 the binaries in the same media (disk images, virtual appliances, etc) may
40 lead to infringing.
