CDDL vs. MPL assymmetry (was Re: Mistaken statement about MPL?)

You're right, I got the wrong acronym here.  There are a set of licenses 
that collapse the grants into one.  It's simpler to do this, but may not 
be better, as I noted. Then again, perhaps I'm totally wrong about what 
was intended by "asymmetrical"  Someone else noted this is not clear 
what this term is 
supposed to mean.   Maybe it refers to some other clause entirely?
