Good point. I don&#x27;t think I&#x27;ve ever heard of CDDL ever being used except by Sun (and Oracle as Sun&#x27;s successor), and people redistributing work (or derivatives of work) originally released by Sun&#x2F;Oracle.<p>I would imagine that the decision to use CDDL by anyone other than Sun&#x2F;Oracle is based almost completely on &quot;its the only license under which Sun&#x2F;Oracle will allow me to release this work&quot;.
