Originally posted by johnc View PostIs CDDL really GPL-incompatible though?
This is a free software license. It has a copyleft with a scope that's similar to the one in the Mozilla Public License, which makes it incompatible with the GNU GPL. This means a module covered by the GPL and a module covered by the CDDL cannot legally be linked together. We urge you not to use the CDDL for this reason.
Also unfortunate in the CDDL is its use of the term ?intellectual property?.

This is why there's usually little compatibility between copyleft licenses.
