    ZFS is supported on both SPARC and x86 platforms. More important, ZFS
    is endian-neutral. You can easily move disks from a SPARC server to an
    x86 server. Neither architecture pays a byte-swapping tax due to Sun's
    patent-pending "adaptive endian-ness" technology, which is unique to
    ZFS.

Are they patenting receiver-makes-right?
