I don't know what personal definition of "free software" you are using, but GPL is free software: that is, it follows the debian free software guidelines. By restricting support contracts, the CDDL is not. Sun want control of the support market to themselves and the CDDL is one tool to help them achieve that.

The MPlayer flameboys don't much interest me, but I wonder how you can cite something never published and expect anyone to accord it much weight.
