you missed the point
We all understand it cannot be included in the kernel - we're talking about whether or not it can be included in the distribution. Fedora already includes software that has incompatible GPL licenses...
but you don't understand "derived work" which affects kernel modules
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#GPLIncompatibleLicenses In fact, the CDDL is an approved Fedora license: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main?rd=Licensing
a standalone software with CDDL is a different topic
Just because something is incompatible with the GPL doesn't in and of itself blacklist it from being included in the distribution
no, but when you link that incompatible code with the kernel which is GPLv2 code it's a complete different topic
for "out of tree kernel modules" just read the other thread....
