Hi It's just my personal opinion and i'm not a lawyer (and i don't want to be one)
regarding your statement 1) "The rights that you grant to us under these terms are effective on the date you first submitted a contribution to us, even if your submission took place before the date you sign these terms." regarding your statement 2) "This includes, at our option, the right to sublicense these same rights to third parties through multiple levels of sublicensees or other licensing arrangements;" and "you agree that each of us can do all things in relation to your contribution as if each of us were the sole owners, and if one of us makes a derivative work of your contribution, the one who makes the derivative work (or has it made) will be the sole owner of that derivative work;" regarding your statement 3) Your hint to the paragraph of the german Urheberrecht: "perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, no-charge, royalty-free, unrestricted license to exercise all rights under those copyrights." >From my point of view, the SCA is a agreement in the sense of §32, thus the >rule of "appropriate compensation" doesn't apply. Additionally the reader >could assert, that §32 section 3 allows to right of use free of charge You could assert, that the SCA states "Any contribution we make available under any license will also be made available under a suitable FSF (Free Software Foundation) or OSI (Open Source Initiative) approved license". In my opinion complies to this due to the fact that the source you've contributed is CDDL licensed and in the open. However ... as i said before ... i'm not a lawyer ...
