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
-Change GPL-2.0 in example with $GPL-COMPATIBLE-ID
