This means that you cannot alter or remove the copyright notices of that

This means that the source code is owned by Oracle and/or its
affiliates, and that they have reserved all rights of that source code.
Since the code is Oracle's (and/or its affiliates) you cannot relicense
it to anyone, with the Apache License or any other license, without
their approval.
Side note, the license URL listed athttp://www.netbeans.org/cddl-gplv2.htm
is not accessible anymore. Is a redirect needed for this?
I don't think so.
The ASF Legal team has created a webpage [1] with many answers to
licensing questions that can be of help. For instance, CDDL source code
must not be included in ASF projects, but CDDL binaries may be used.
Cheers,
Antonio
