There is more to it than that, the CDDL was intentionally created by Sun to be GPL incompatable, in a bid to create their own linux-like ecosystem with OpenSolaris.
The incompatable nature of the license was so linux could not merge things like ZFS and dtrace.
it was yet more Sun licensing games that only hurt adoption in the end, like their Java shenanagins.
Summing it up as "aww gee shucks licensing problems have struck again" ignores the fact that such crap was an intentional power-play from sun.
