Need it be?  

AFAIK, TNF doesn't vet licenses or provide legal advice about the
codebase.  Certainly Core has no particular legal expertise or standing.  

I think it might perhaps be better to word the caution more neutrally e.g.
"zfs is licensed under CDDL."  That leaves it to the developer.  I don't
know what more can be said, apart from seeking legal opinions or relying
on received wisdom, neither of which would mean much a judge, should it
come to that.  

If someone wants a pure BSD binary, I would think it wouldn't be much
trouble to remove zfs with config(8).
