These questions are always fun.
So, I'll preface this with the usual IANAL clause.
I'm pulling this from an FAQ as I believe it will answer your question:
Anyone can download and use the Grizzly server under either the CDDL or
GPLv2 + the Classpath exception software license. Where the licenses
have effect is if you decide to distribute or modify the code. At the
time you decide to distribute or modify the code, you have to choose a
license. Once you make changes or distribute the code under your chosen
license, all derivative works must be licensed in accordance with the
terms of the license you choose.
Does this help?
Thanks,
