File based CDDL license seems like a right choice to a company like

But that can't happen (to files that Apple modifies at least): the
CDDL dictates that any changes you make to CDDLed files must be
made available under the CDDL. If Apple create a NEW source file,
then yes, it is possible that they wouldn't release the source for
that file; the CDDL permits this.
No worries anyway. Apple has put most all of their stuff back that
they work on that is open source. That does not mean stuff that they
invent that interacts with open source.
Safari is a good example of a new project that relied on open source
and that apple put back. Now Nokia uses the same stuff in some of
their phones. My N80 for example
