Outside of CDDL being explicitly crafted to be incompatible with GPL, no action from FSF would have any impact on Linux licencing since Linus chose to use GPLv2

Outside of CDDL being explicitly crafted to be incompatible with GPL, no action from FSF would have any impact on Linux licencing since Linus chose to use GPLv2 ONLY rather than 'GPLv2 or later' which is the usual case.
Beyond that, given how Linus himself thinks that 'Making Linux GPL'd was definitely the best thing I ever did. ' and him attributing it as being a huge part of why Linux became such a success, I'd say there would zero chance of a Linux license change even if it was all up to Linus, which of course it is not.
