Relicense Azafea to the MPL #25

Endless are comfortable with keeping public the code handling all the metrics they collect and process. In fact, they prefer that.

However, I was told Endless can't guarantee that all of their partners will agree to that, so we unfortunately need to keep a way to have some (as little as possible) metrics handling code private.

The MPL is a good compromise here, as it enforces copyleft on all the files licensed as MPL, but allows writing proprietary event processors should other organizations using Azafea require it.


This was agreed with @ramcq
