OK, I actually started reading the license but I'm afraid
I am not skilled enough to understand how exactly it allows
you to not reveal your own changes. But I think I do understand
these words from your boss Jonathan Swartz, explaining the CDDL:
> Under the CDDL, you are free to choose what to reveal, what to
> withhold, and how to price your products. The CDDL encourages
> self-determination by giving developers the basic building blocks
> of the entire OpenSolaris operating system without any obligation
> to disgorge their private property or predetermine its price. You
> can withhold from Sun, from the OpenSolaris community, from the
> world, anything you build. Or you can choose to share. It's entirely
> your call.
