-<p>This is a free software license which is not a strong copyleft; it
-has some complex restrictions that make it incompatible with the <a
-href="/licenses/gpl.html">GNU GPL</a>.  It requires
-that all attribution notices be maintained, while the GPL only
-requires certain types of notices.  Also, it terminates in retaliation
-for certain aggressive uses of patents.  So, a module covered by the
-GPL and a module covered by the CDDL cannot legally be linked
-together.  We urge you not to use the CDDL for this reason.</p>
