XSLT whitespace control with text output - xslt

Question

Using xsltproc, how can I output CDATA sections without surrounding space, if the formatter I need to use formats around CDATA like this by inserting space? No requirement to use xsl:text. I also tried xsl:value-of but could not figure out how to use CDATA in xsl:value-of. (I can delete the space around CDATA, but the formatter simply adds it back).
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="text" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent='no' />
<xsl:strip-space elements="*" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:text>
<![CDATA[/*

*/
]]>
</xsl:text>
<xsl:text>
<![CDATA[/*
* Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License");
*/
]]>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Output
jonsmirl#ares:~/aosp/blogs/jonsmirl.github.io/xml$ xsltproc test.xsl test.xsl

Desired output

This solution works, my mistake was in thinking the text needed to be inside CDATA to get the formatter to leave it alone.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="text" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent='no' />
<xsl:strip-space elements="*" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:text>/*
* Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License");
*/
</xsl:text>
<xsl:text>/*

*/
</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
