CDDL is the Common Development and Distribution License. It is an open source license that takes the well-known Mozilla Public License (MPL) and makes it reusable without modification. We wanted a copyleft license that provided the protections and freedoms necessary for true open source, as well as enabling creation of larger works for commercial purposes.
