Because the GPL forbids additional restrictions over and above
those listed in the GPL. BSD, however, basically says "do whatever you
want with this" -- which means that it's pretty much compatible with
any license at all (i.e. BSD-licensed material may be distributed as
source or binary as a part of a larger or derived work licensed under
any other license).
CDDL is based on the Mozilla license (MPL). This has termination
clauses in it about cancelling the license if you sue a developer of
the software for patent infringement. These clauses are not GPLv2
compatible (but resemble similar clauses in the draft of the GPLv3
I've read). Given that it's not feasible to relicense the Linux
kernel, Linux will remain as a GPLv2 project, which is incompatible
with the MPL and CDDL.
