I didn't say the CDDL prevented this. I'm not blaming one of the other
licence, but they are considered to be incompatible. I realise you
believe otherwise, and you could well be correct, but those who distribute
the software either believe otherwise or feel there is enough doubt to be
cautious. If in doubt, don't.

I wish your interpretation was correct, but the prevailing option is
otherwise.
