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. |
