[Mono-list] relicensing from NPL to MIT/X11

[Zac Bowling]

Wasn't all the NPL code also automatically replaced with MPL 1.0 and
then shortly later subsequently re-released under MPL(1.1)/LGPL/GPL
tri-license in 2000ish? I think there is something on mozilla.org/NPL
and mozilla.org/MPL about it somewhere.
