Hello,

I don't know if I got this right, but I'm trying to explain how I 
understand the case. :-)

I guess you mean 3.6:

"3.6. Larger Works.

You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Software with other 
code not governed by the terms of this License and distribute the 
Larger Work as a single product. In such a case, You must make sure the 
requirements of this License are fulfilled for the Covered Software."

I think this requires the "Larger Work" to be distributed with the 
source code of the parts that are governed by the CDDL. Plus, if you 
make changes to the parts covered by the CDDL you'll have to make these 
available to the public.

So, it's kinda compatible with the BSD License. Or isn't it?

Regards,
Christoph
