For those still searching for background on this topic to try and understand the effects and discussions of the GPL vs CDDL licensing in other distros and how this may affect your use on Gentoo, you may find the respective articles on wikipedia instructive. Don't just read the brief blurbs included in Wikipedia, but take a look at the citations included in the articles as well. I'm not sure it gives all sides of the discussion, but it should be illuminating on some of the background details that people were requesting.

P.S. I'm fully aware that the text of the wiki articles may be considered biased, that's a topic to take up on Wikipedia and not here. I'm just using the articles as a jumping point to what appear to be primary sources so people can draw their own conclusions.
