should not be a show stopper, imho. Project like this has clear API between kernel and user spaces. GPL is about API implementation, not API declaration.(I guess) As in case of FreeBSD, kernel part and ioctls code needs to be re-written under CDDL, while user part will remain GPL which is legal, AFAIK.
