You should read the GPL and get help to understand it. The GPL does not forbid this linking. In contrary, the GPOL allows any GPLd program to be linked against any library under and license.

But before you like to discuss things with me, I recommend you to first inform yourself correctly. I if course _don't_ mix CDDLd code with GPLd code.
