Hi Johh,

thank you very much for the notice. I am going submit the change 
upstream to put this in sync.

OpenZFS is now "the source" and this file is part of OpenZFS. We may 
have local changes but the idea is to push to OpenZFS first, if not 
absolutely necessary to have it in our tree first. If I as a copyright 
holder write a webpage with open content and others may use my content, 
it is unusual for a copyright holder to request changes on a derived 
site and keep the original webpage unchanged.

Martin
