No rumour at all. The entire stack is being licensed under the GPLv2, with some classpath exceptions. The major reason is getting to an OSI community approved license that everyone has already agreed to [see gcj/classpath]. It's the license with the best disincentive to fork and opens up new communities and opportunities across the world. Doesn't say anything about CDDL - Glassfish is still dual licensed under the CDDL and seemingly it's working for them just fine. I'm absolutely sure Simon/others can add more to the rationale, and well, don't forget to watch the video casts at 9am PST.
