"t's a bit unfair to say that CDDL is preventing GPL
developers from taking Solaris source and incorporating it
into their work as the incompatibility exists in the GPL not the CDDL. "
GPL exists long before CDDL license was created by Sun. They are practically the only people who use the license. You guys very well know there was a compatibility issue with GPL when you created it. It was publicly announced when you made the license available for review for OSI. So its very well fair to say the the compatibility issue was created by Sun in the CDDL.
Now whether you did have your reasons to do it is a entirely different matter.
