Oh, I must have been looking in the wrong place for approval.

Common Public License Version 1.0
This is a free software license but it is incompatible with the GPL.
The Common Public License is incompatible with the GPL because it
has various specific requirements that are not in the GPL.
For example, it requires certain patent licenses be given that the
GPL does not require. (We don't think those patent license requirements
are inherently a bad idea, but nonetheless they are incompatible with
the GNU GPL.)

12 Does the CPL allow me to take the Source Code for a Program licensed
under it and include all or part of it in another program licensed under
the GNU General Public License (GPL), Berkeley Software Distribution
(BSD) license or other Open Source license?
No. Only the owner of software can decide whether and how to license it
to others. Contributors to a Program licensed under the CPL understand
that source code for the Program will be made available under the terms
of the CPL. Unless you are the owner of the software or have received
permission from the owner, you are not authorized to apply the terms of
another license to the Program by including it in a program licensed
under another Open Source license. By the way, the same answer applies
if you want to include source code licensed under another Open Source
license in a program licensed under the CPL.
