It does, it's part of Oracle Linux. Oracle obviously therefore believe that a CDDL kernel module is fine.

It wouldn't be distributed as a kernel module (DTrace probes are far more invasive than that). But yes, I posted this before I realised that Oracle Linux has sublicensed it under the GPL in their port to Linux (for their customers), so it's fine for us to do the same as long as we "base it on their port".

Oracle also owns SUN, who originally licensed it that way...
