Its an MPL derivitive, and while I don't have the legal knowledge
necesssary to address your question, I found an interesting summary of
the changes (disclaimer: from sun)
* Fixed the "Effect of New Versions" problem. We added an option to
make Covered Software available under a specific version of the
license, rather than allowing the use of future license versions.
This change was made to make the license more reusable by others:
it addresses the concern that the license steward could change the
terms of the license in ways that are not compatible with a
community's (and the Initial Developer's) values and objectives.
* Focused the "patent peace" provisions to cover only software
released under this license. We felt that this would make the
license more acceptable to a diverse community of contributors,
whether large or small. We strengthened the the penalties of the
remaining provision, however, since we do believe that "patent
peace" has an important role to play in open source licenses.
* Simplified many of the Required Notices (or in a few cases,
removed the requirement) since they seemed overly specific and
burdensome.
* Clarified the definition of Modifications, to make it easier for
readers to understand what is covered by the license and what is not.

I am curious as to the ASF's stance on this as well. Nearly everything
Sun is licensed under or is going to be under the CDDL now.
