Updates in GPL, thanks to standard boilerplate provided by GPL and used for years, are opt-out.

With CDDL, Oracle declares they have the sole right to provide newer versions of the license. However at no time can they treat it as an "upgrade path" for third party code, and OpenZFS code is explicitly labeled with CDDL 1.0

All of that has no impact on OpenZFS code which remains unencumbered, including by patents (the patent license is, afaik, the part that makes it incompatible with GPL the most).
