About the latter, at a guess:
1. It's not a licence.
2. And nobody submitted it.
My new-BSD with required eating of a pastrami sandwich licence hasn't
been approved, either.
Anyway, an open-source licence with an added grant of rights tacked on
(which is what GPLv2 w/classpath exception is) is obviously also open
source.
CDDL 1.1 is OSI Certified.
