There was some plans to merge FreeBSD kernel's part into open-iscsi
project. The problem, open-iscsi needs to resolve is to re-license some
part of it under dual-license, so GPL and others will co-exist.
Some work been done for initial integration, but recently I don't have
much time to continue this effort. So, if somebody interesting, please
let me know.
We've discussed dual-licensing with core open-iscsi developers, there
should not be a problem it will just take some time to get agreement
from all copyright holders.
