^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Please look up the meaning of acronyms if you intend on using them. I
do not think it means what you think it means.
DFSG = Debian Free Software Guidelines
see http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines
All software in Debian _must_ be licensed under a DFSG-compatible
license. The question was whether or not Nexenta wants to be an
official Debian port. If, as David suggests, CDDL is not
DFSG-compatible, this already precludes GNU/Solaris from becoming an
official Debian port.
This does not mean that Nexenta cannot work with Debian, or with Debian
developers. (In fact, Debian generally wants Debian-derivatives to work
with them.) But this means that GNU/Solaris cannot be an official
Debian port.
