after reading part of CDDL around 50% of the licen before i give up
basic if u use part or whole source code from a CDDL project all u own code
will automatic belong to
frist devloper of the the CDDL project.
The frist programer can force u pay money if u dispurte it as Execute avail,
he have right claim money for the pantent he have, if he have one. say u
have a pantent and implement it in a CDDL project u will agreed give it
to the frist devloper of the CDDL project for free. basic u give up pantent
and give it to him for free, if u got one.
and allot other bad thing.
CDDL are not comptaible with GPL or BSD or FreeWare or MIT X11
I will not comment any more or send mail about CDDL

Subject: [ros-dev] Got a little nightmare ZFS and Reactos.
CDDL is the license that most sources of ZFS code is
under.
And Reactos is GPL is not compatible.
Now a few things will Reactos except non GPL drivers. As long as the
drivers are under a open source license. Even if license is not
directly compatible with GPL.
Also header files and other incompatibility. Is there anything in the
reactos header files that would cause trouble for a ZFS file system
driver using CDDL.
Same kinda of assessment are kinda required to get other company's to
provide open source drivers as well. Because not all company's use GPL
compatible licenses for there drivers for legal reasons.
If mixing is not allowed starting from base documentation would be
required. That is not exactly the most effective way but if that is the
way it has to be done that is the way it has to be done..
