Joel Martin 1d728ace69 Change noVNC license to from LGPLv3 to MPL 2.0 
The MPL 2.0 license is a "file-level" copyleft license vs the
"project-level" nature of the L/GPL. The intention of noVNC has
always been that it should be easy to incorporate into existing
projects and sites whether free/open or proprietary/commercial. The MPL
2.0 is designed for this sort of combination project but still
requires that any distributed modifications to noVNC source files must
also be published under the same license.

In addition, the MPL 2.0 allows the code to be used in L/GPL projects
(the secondary license clause). This means that any projects that are
already incorporating noVNC should not be impacted by this change and
in fact it should clarify the licensing situation (the exact
application of the L/GPL to web applications and interpreted code is
somewhat ambiguous).

The HTML, CSS, image and font files continue to be under more
permissive licenses (see LICENSE.txt). The included websockify python
code remains under a LGPLv3 license although the include/websock.js
file from the websockify component is now under MPL 2.0 as well.

Permission was received from other noVNC authors to make this change to their
code license on the following dates:

    - Chris Gordon (UI): Jun 24, 2012
    - Antoine Mercadal (DOM,*util.js): Oct 10, 2012
    - William Lightning (UltraVNC repeater): Oct 10, 2012
    - Mike Tinglof (tight encoding): Oct 15, 2012

WebSockets Proxy

wsproxy has become websockify. A copy of the python version of websockify (named wsproxy.py) is kept here for ease of use. The other versions of websockify (C, Node.js) and the associated test programs have been moved to websockify.

For more detailed description and usage information please refer to the websockify README.
