As has been said already, the GPL does allow non-GPL code to appear in GPL projects, but it requires that code then to be distributed under the GPL. But to do so may infringe the licence for that non-GPL code. To take an extreme example, including proprietary source code in software that was then distributed under the GPL would not infringe the GPL, but it would certainly infringe the copyright in that proprietary code. The same principle applies with a free licence such as the CDDL. > my claims (being aligned with lawyer statements) are true. I'd be interested to know which "lawyer statements" you are referring to (genuine question - feel free to mail me the details off-list if you've previously posted them here).
