It's supposedly the opinion of Oracle that the CDDL is GPL-compatible and that's the reason they won't do that.

I would not rely on the non-binding opinion of a company known for deploying its lawyers in aid of revenue generation
That wasn't exactly the answer.
Yeah, I agree based in rewatching that I've either misrecalled the original material, or I got it from another source.

I agree that based on that source, it's more like "meh, we don't really care" (until they do)

Oracle didn't follow that with DTrace. They changed the license away from CDDL when they integrated it into Oracle Linux.
