...nal restrictions. I recommend you not to repeat false claims from uninformed people. If you did read the CDDL, you did of course know that the CDDL places "work limits" at file limits and that the CDDL does not try to impose any restriction on sources that are not in a file marked as CDDLd. So the CDDL of course does create any restriction on a GPLd work. On the other side, the GPL does create restrictions on other sources, but it just requires other sources (if needed to recreate the shipped binary) to be shipped together with the GPLd work. The GPL of course does not impose any...

...eryone else? It doesn't take anything away - unless you > really don't want it to be used in other projects. Why should I do something that is not needed? But before you like to discuss things with me, I recommend you to first inform yourself correctly. I if course _don't_ mix CDDLd code with GPLd code.

...itated with Linux > (and for good reason...) but isn't it time to let it go? We had much less problems is the people that use the GPL would understand the GPL. If you combine ZFS and Linux, you create a permitted "collective work" and the GPL cannot extend it's rules to the CDDLd separate and independend work ZFS of course.
