Hi Barb, they will not reflect the CDDL - there has been a long discussion on this on legal, and the outcome was that all dtd-files have been manually retyped by an Apache committer, and are now under ASL-license. So the notice.txt will not be amended to reflect the CDDL, but no reference at all for these dtds. Expect the change in the next release.
