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

Add the full text of the ISC license to the kernel tree. It was copied
directly from:

   https://spdx.org/licenses/ISC.html

With the mention of "ISC" in the warranty disclaimer replaced with
"THE AUTHOR" as done in the ISC license headers used in the ath10k and
brcmfmac wifi drivers.
