Well, as I understand CDDL isn't compatible with GPL. so if you're
pulling it into MediaWiki at runtime you enter the GPL Mystery Zone(TM)
where things may, or may not, be properly licensed. :)
But I wouldn't object to CDDL code being in the repository, as long as
we're not mixing the files together.
