There is no real difference between what happens on Nexenta and what happens in
cdrtools.
In both cases, GPLd code uses CDDLd libraries in a way that definitely does not
make the CDDLd libraries a "derived work" from GPLd code.
But you are correct with the fact that people from Debian are spreading FUD
