Also, CDDL's obligation to provide source code (sec. 3.1) is triggered
by
an executable you "make available."  It has been suggested in this
forum that this no doubt intentionally vague wording covers ASP usage.

So, it appears you could accomplish your stated goals by dual-licensing
your code OSL/proprietary or CDDL/proprietary.  Of course, this assumes
that you own all copyrights in the code, or otherwise have sufficiently
broad rights to relicense.
