Oh- I sortof found the answers I wanted on page 17 in Alan Jude's slide deck:

"Fighting the FUD
●This news resulted in some immediate negative gut reactions
●There is only one OpenZFS, we are all in this together
●FreeBSD will get features sooner, be more involved upstream
●Linux uses the SPL (Solaris Porting Layer) to run ZFS code as close to the illumos upstream as possible
●FreeBSD does similar, so using ZoL code will not inject Linux or GPL code into the FreeBSD kernel
●No Linux-KPI shims are used for ZFS code"

Sounds rational.  I'm still feeling shaky, ZFS on FreeBSD is just *so darned good* right now.

Best,
