Not true. It doesn't matter who owns the copyright, because Sun has the keys to the kingdom and can publish a revision to the CDDL whenever they want. Forward compatibility is not something you opt-in to with the CDDL (unlike you have to do with the GPL).
This is, for example, how Mozilla has been relicensed to MPL 2.0 from earlier versions of the license—which the CDDL is based on, incidentally—even though there are no "any later version" notices anywhere in the headers or other files.
