..my understanding is, at least some of the headers in ZFS 
are licensed under the CDDL.  
AFAIR from http://groklaw.net/ on the tSCOG litigations, the 
CDDL's main feature is it's intentional anti-GPL nature, it 
was created specifically to be incompatible with the GPL, to 
support the "The SCO Group" (Microsoft strawman) litigations, 
by trying to split and divide the coding communities.

..for details, use Groklaw's search page to search for CDDL,
Google honors Groklaw's robot.txt.
