Thanks for the reply Wolfram.
as you said:
"Thus I think you have to use the CDDL for your code as well if it is
made within CDDL-licensed files. This is not necessary for any files you
added."
is my understanding correct?
Put CDDL license on top of files that I used/edited from the glassfish
project (thus they remain under cddl)
No need to put license for new files that i coded.
i'm consulting others as well and not holding your statement to be that of a
lawyer :) just wanted to get the views from the community for my problem. I
will not release any code unless I do get a yes from a lawyer :) so do share
your opinion.
Thanks,
Gautam
