Please, please read the licensing FAQ.(link posted in earlier
reply). What you have posted is FUD.

You can use Suns code however you like as long as you release
your modifications to CDDL license files (it's file based)
as source when you distribute the project. You don't have to
release your own files (i.e. new files which were not
originally under CDDL) if you don't want to. You CAN use Suns
code in your own projects as long as the license you choose
to distribute it under is compatible with the CDDL.

Maybe I'm completely wrong in my outlook.

Yes you are.
