01aa9d518e This is a fairly typical cycle for documentation. There's some welcome
readability improvements for the formatted output, some LICENSES updates
 including the addition of the ISC license, the removal of the unloved and
 unmaintained 00-INDEX files, the deprecated APIs document from Kees, more
 MM docs from Mike Rapoport, and the usual pile of typo fixes and
 corrections.

19e6420e41 LICENSES: Remove CC-BY-SA-4.0 license text
Using non-GPL licenses for our documentation is rather problematic,
as it can directly include other files, which generally are GPLv2
licensed and thus not compatible.

Remove this license now that the only user (idr.rst) is gone to avoid
people semi-accidentally using it again.

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.

8639a0c790 LICENSES: Add note to CDDL-1.0 license that it should not be used
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.

The infiniband code uses a variant of the OpenIB license. This license is
BSD-2-Clause with the MIT disclaimer. The linux kernel uses this license
extensively throughout the driver subsystem since 2005. Note that the
OpenIB.org license is a true match to BSD-2-Clause.
