There are two files from ON that use 2010 already and changing thigs
back to 2008 did not help.

I still get the same unusable error message and need help with creating a 
working manifests/system-library-schily.mf

I mentioned already in the IRC that we don't know what CDDL-1.1 could be.
For this reason we should use a text like:

 * The contents of this file are subject to the terms of the 
 * Common Development and Distribution License, Version 1.0 only. 
 * See the file CDDL.Sun.txt in this distribution or 
 * http://www.opensolaris.org/license/ for details. 

It makes even sense (and it legal) to change back Snorcle files to Version 1.0 
only. In this case, we would need to be able to create a list of contributors 
that has to be asked once a CDDL-1.1 is ready for review in order to decide 
whether to allow the upgrade or not.

BTW: For me as a German author, it is forbidden by law to sign a contract that 
contains claims I cannot know when signing. For this reason, any code I 
contribute is CDDL-1.0 by law anyway.
