The FreeBSD 7-STABLE branch saw its first point release today. Don't let the point release moniker fool you, though, as FreeBSD 7.1 comes packed with a number of pretty significant changes, such as support for OpenSolaris' DTrace, as well as a new, more efficient scheduler.

OpenSolaris and FreeBSD share a lot of code without any problem, so its not BSD nor CDDL problem, the problem is GPL2 which is compatible only with itself.
Given that
1) the GPL was written many, many years before the CDDL
2) the popularity of the GPL meaning that Sun necessarily took it into account writing the CDDL,
it's easy to deduce that the incompatibility of the CDDL with the GPL was designed into the CDDL, so claiming that this is an issue with the GPL is a logical error at best, spin at worst..

Right and the fact that the BSD-license cat use CDDL-licensed code but not GPL'd-code tells you what? GPL is a one-way street.

BSD and CDDL does not forbid linking with anything while GPL2 does, now it suffers greatly from their 'protection'.
