Sun is about to release Solaris under a new licence called CDDL.

http://www.opensolaris.org/license/cddl_license.html

It is based on MPL 1.1. The differences are listed here: 
http://www.sun.com/cddl/CDDL_MPL_redline.pdf

A summary can be found at http://www.sun.com/cddl/CDDL_why_details.html

I'm writing an article about it, and I would appreciate it if you could tell 
me whether CDDL is compatible with GPL and LGPL. In addition, I would like to 
understand whether a document released under CDDL would be compatible with 
documentation under GFDL.
