there is a lot of self-confidence in your reply, but it doesn't address his/her point: that there is essentially a "loophole" that Oracle could exploit if they wanted to by writing a new version of the CDDL.

his/her contention is that most of the code has been released without the explicit opt-out for a more recent version of CDDL.

there's no need to get nasty; just bring the facts.
