CDDL allows Sun to cuddle up to developers without disclosing information about patents

Sun's opinion is that that matter is better addressed in the contribution agreement. When you give software to them, they'll have an agreement between you and them for the use and disposition of that code. You should expect to see that agreement address patents. They hear your concerns and intend to address them. Write some code for Open Solaris, contribute it to Sun, and see if you're still unhappy.
