The license is QPL, which is GPL-incompatible, so we can't legally include it in Sage. See http://www.cgal.org/license.html More precisely, "Approximately, the Kernel and Support libraries are under the LGPL, and most geometric algorithms and data structures are under the QPL, but there are some exceptions in both directions.
