[PATCH v2 1/2] LICENSES: Add note to CDDL-1.0 license that it should not be used
From: Hans de Goede
Date: Wed Oct 10 2018 - 16:15:14 EST
The only reason we have the CDDL-1.0 license text around is for some
dual-licensed files from virtualbox. New code should not use this license.
Add a note about this and change the example tag to be dual-licensed.

Changes in v2:
-Add text specifying that CDDL may only be used together with OR
