Generally speaking, if they have modified CDDL files in the course of
adding support, then they are obliged to make their changes to those files
available to their customers (which in the case of a free download can be
*anyone*.)  That has to be under the terms of the CDDL as well, so those
changes could be upstreamed. However, it is not necessarily the case that
the changes are complete -- the way they did VAAI for example, they
modified a CDDL file to leave a call site behind, but kept the actual
implementation in closed source form.

(For the record, I argued against that approach -- as I think there was
more to gain by sharing with the community and avoiding code drift than
there was in that feature as a differentiator.  But I was overruled by the
executive management team at the time.)
