chore(licence): remove redundant root LICENSE-MPL-2.0 duplicate - #60
Merged

Conversation
The repo carried two root MPL-2.0 files — `LICENSE` and `LICENSE-MPL-2.0` — plus the canonical `LICENSES/` REUSE dir. `LICENSE-MPL-2.0` is the same MPL-2.0 text, only re-wrapped (diff is line-wrapping only), and root `LICENSE` is byte-identical to `LICENSES/MPL-2.0.txt`. Two root LICENSE* files can make GitHub's licensee detector report "multiple licenses" instead of MPL-2.0; removing the redundant one keeps the single-display resolution (standards LICENCE-POLICY.adoc Addendum A8) clean. No unique licence content is lost — the canonical MPL-2.0 text remains in root LICENSE and LICENSES/MPL-2.0.txt. Owner-authorised (A2).
