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.
What if the system doesn't function with-out that NEW source file? Say
for example, I change a CDDL source file and also add a NEW source
file. With my changes, CDDL file now depends on NEW file for its
proper functionality. But i dont give my NEW source file back to
community. Does CDDL restrict scenarios like this?
just curious,
