FYI, I watched the video you referred to (my daughter having woken up) and
Simon's comments seem to be in direct contradiction of your earlier
statement. The relevant comments start at around 35:30, and he says that
the Sun engineering community pretty clearly favored a BSD-style license.
He mentions that trying to use the GPL would have pushed out their timeline
by several years. The ``you do that and we quit'' comment (around the 38
minute park) was quite clearly in response to using GPL for OpenSolaris.

Check the video mentioned there as this just lists what Simon did say.
BTW: Danese Cooper was (from what I know) not involved in the CDDL at
all.
I had a 2 hour telephone conference with Andrew Tucker, a Sun lawyer and
a lady from Sun (I do no longer remember her name but it was definitely
not
Danese). The reason for the telephone confernce
was to discuss the
changes for
the final CDDL license text.
I just discovered the name again: The lady that was in the teleconference
has
been Claire Giordano.
