CDDL doesn't allow that either.  MIT does.

Under CDDL, all contributions / modifications of the code that was CDDL originally must remain CDDL, and the code must remain open.  However, a binary may be compiled from a mixture of CDDL and non-CDDL code, and the binary itself does not need to be CDDL.  But if you distribute a larger work that is partially built from CDDL code, you must provide notification that parts are CDDL, and provide a copy of CDDL, and a copy of the CDDL code.
