For my project it's been requested that I provide a list of all GPL 
software that links with CDDL code.  To the best of my knowledge the 
only circumstance where this exists is with libc.  I'm not a lawyer, but 
it's clear that Sun's legal department has determined GPL code + CDDL 
libc to not be a derivative work or at least not a risk.  Maybe I'm 
mistaken because it's technically being distributed under the 
OpenSolaris binary license?  Can or has someone made an official 
statement on this?  If not please do so.  I'm hoping that SFLC will 
resolve the matter with a real answer, but having a 2nd opinion from 
another lawyer may help a lot.  I'm trying to avoid this boiling down to 
copyright holder risk assessments.


(This may and probably is the wrong place to ask this.  Please redirect 
me if so.)

Thanks
