DTrace has been ported to QNX. "The initial port to Neutrino that Colin and I have done is slightly different from the other OS ports. Since Neutrino is a micro-kernel, we wanted to see how far we could go keeping the dtrace module out of the kernel... And if possible even outside of the process manager. The current implementation has all of the dtrace system code, normally found in the kernel or a kernel module, encapsulated in a resource manager, io-dtrace, and the utility is a straight port of the Solaris utility."

Except it isn't my interpretation. I'm merely repeating what *qualified* legal counsel has provided to Sun. So what I say is actually more qualified than what you say, because I'm repeating what a lawyer said
Taking SUN's word for it isn't exactly a good idea for any open source project.
Besides, you are also aware that Solaris contains BSD licensed code that links against the CDDL code? Right?
BSD is a more permissive license which allows it to be used almost anywhere with minimal impact on licensing issues. It's almost public domain. It's a little different when you are talking about using the CDDL in a BSD licensing kernel.
