It couldn't be any more clear, look at the license itself again:

http://www.sun.com/cddl/cddl.html

Look at section 2.1, notice that only 2.1(a) contains the language "with or without Modifications, and/or as part of a Larger Work". 2.1(b), the patent clause, clearly only refers to "original software".

Licenses are never easy, but this is about as clear cut as it gets, as my link to lwn.net corroborated.

Which can be modified and used in part or whole in the part of a larger work, i.e., A FORK. You just referenced it, yet you fail to comprehend.

Again, show me how the CDDL differs enough from the MPL so that software under the CDDL can't be forked while the MPL software can.

Why do I ask? I know you won't. It will show how you are yet again wrong.

as my link to lwn.net corroborated.

Which doesn't seem to agree with the position of a Sun executive. Hmmm, who to trust?
