Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL) Information

We have drafted a new open source license based on the Mozilla Public License, version 1.1 ("MPL"), called the Common Development and Distribution License ("CDDL").

We submitted the CDDL to the OSI for review and approval via the license-discuss@opensource.org mailing list on 2004-Dec-01, then based on community review submitted a revised version for review on 2004-Dec-17. The license was approved by the OSI board of directors on 2005-Jan-14.

More details about the OSI and the license review processes can be found at www.opensource.org.

What follows are the materials that were approved by the OSI:

• Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL)
• Redline diffs between MPL1.1 and CDDL
• Summary description of changes
• Detailed description of changes from the MPL
