FSF's comments about CDDL: "This is a free software license which is not a strong copyleft; it has some complex restrictions that make it incompatible with the GNU GPL. That is, 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"."
I see this quoted a lot, and the part about "cannot legally be linked together" is utter crap.
That being said, if you *do* link them together then you are prevented from distributing because you cannot satify the conditoins of both licenses.
There is nothing in either license preventing you from linking GPL code and CDDL code on your own systems if you have no intention of distributing it.
Richard, as it seems that you are reading this list, is there any chance of getting that FAQ answer clarified?
