Believe me, there is code that made it into OpenSolaris without a SCA has been signed. In any case, the German Copyright law is very obvious that you either need to be payed or the code most be OSS. For the code in question Sun did not pay, so they need to keep it OSS and as they don't have a related SCA, they cannot change the license.
