Upstream for dtrace, opensolaris and zfs is Illumos. Note that ZFS generally follows Illumos development in a cherry-pick manner and not as a wholesale from certain release so the version here is usually outdated. Current ZFS on all supported branches are post-"Feature Flags", or also known as "version 5000".

Userland tools that switched to GPLv3

Most FSF projects have been migrating the (L)GPLv2 to GPLv3. These are unlikely to ever get updated in FreeBSD, and plans are being developed to migrate to other tools. See GPLinBase for details.

Software also available someplace else (sibling projects)

These tools have been picked up by someone else, or are also available at a different location or in another BSD. They are not considered contrib source in our tree, but have substantial new development available elsewhere. They evolved from *BSD though, and we might want to cherry-pick changes and bring them into our tree, or migrate them to fully contrib software.
