To track down the problem to its root: What does it cost you to distribute 
your code dual licensed under CCDL and GPL?

At some point it does not matter if you are right or not because it is simply 
too expensive for us to proof it. You said yourself that it took some time for 
SUN lawyers to conclude that GPL and CCDL might be compatible. But obviously 
it's not easy as we wouldn't have this discussion other vise.

You could either continue to join endless discussion, ask more lawyers etc. or 
simply check how you could distribute cdrtools with two licenses, the CCDL and 
GPL.

If you really want people to use your code and concentrate on development 
rather than licensing issues this is the simplest solution.
