    Description

      Found in the release process of NetBeans 10:

      I was just grep-ing for GPL and found
      ./platform/o.n.core/licenses/LICENSE.txt which mentions that
      
      > The Common Development and Distribution License
      > (CDDL), Version 1.0 governs your use of:
      > NetBeans Platform software
      
      There's also ./platform/o.n.core/licenses/THIRDPARTYLICENSEREADME.txt
      with the text of GPL w/ CPE and it seems to be related to Swing Layout
      Extensions which I don't believe we include anymore (or do we?).
      
      And finally there's  ./platform/o.n.core/licenses/DISTRIBUTION.txt for
      JavaHelp 2.0 which we also excluded under Apache.
      
      The whole ./platform/o.n.core/licenses/ folder should be removed.
      
      There's also ./nbbuild/standard-nbm-license.txt with the CDDL and GPL
      w/ CPE text which probably should also be deleted.
