Quoting from http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html  "[CDDL]
has a copyleft with a scope that's similar to the one in the Mozilla
Public License, which makes it incompatible with the GNU GPL. This
means a module covered by the GPL and a module covered by the CDDL
cannot legally be linked together."
Portico example is covered by CDDL and if I understand that correctly
I just can not modify it or distribute with GPL code.
