Nice to see that this video clip verifies my statements in case you carefully
listen to Simon Phipps:

-	Sun did not make the CDDL incompatible by intention to the GPL 

-	The only thing that prevents Linux to use the DTrace code in
	Linux is the different threading model

-	Eben Moglen tells you that what I do in cdrtools is OK:
	"They" the FSF and Moglen have only be in fear that people
	could interpret the GPL in a wrong way and for this reason
	added the OS exception, but the GPL does allow to link a
	GPLd project against libraries under other licenses.
