Sorry, it is Debian that makes such claims. Schilling claims that there
is no problem with his licensing parts of cdrtools as CDDL. There is no
incompatibility in distributing CDDL.

You mean just like it is hard for the US to convince Iran to stop its
nuclear program. Ie, the reason for one person having difficulty
convincing someone else can be many and manifold, and need have nothing
to do with the logic of the arguments.

But the law would simply regard the license as it exists with that
clause removed, since that clause is illegal. Now you might decide not
to copy it anyway, since that would be your right, but if you met the
other conditions of the license ( assuming they were legally fine) the
writer would not be able to enforce this section of the copyright on you.

As I understand it, that is Schilling's attitude towards the parts of the GPL that are
claimed to be in conflict with the CDDA. And he has at least some legal
opinion on his side. 
This does not mean that GPL is invalid in its entirety. Just that some
of its claims are invalid.
