CDDL vs. GPL issue is no longer a concern for Nexenta project. The main licensing conflict has been resolved during the first GPLv3 draft discussion. Both sides SUN and FSF agreed that the way Nexenta and Solaris(!) links GPL software with CDDL is totally OK. Please consider the rest of claims to Nexenta/Solaris as a FUD and disregard it (this is what Debian leaders told us). cdrecord project licensing concerns are different and has little to do with Nexenta (other than Debian community).
