Let's not argue about terminology. Call it whatever you want, my main point is
this: There is CDDL licensed codebase (zfs) using the LGPL'ed libraries (fuse)
which in turn uses a GPL'ed licensed codebase (ie) the Linux kernel. 

If the CDDL/GPL incompatibility can be bypassed by sticking a LGPL'ed library
in between, we are setting precedent for others to do the same thing including
proprietary kernel drivers. No, that does not imply ZFS is proprietary. I am
very well aware that is it under a free and open source but GPL incompatible
license aka CDDL.
