Subject: [PATCH] Update LICENSE to include component license clarification for
 subcomponents (#1806)

This updates the license for the admin portal (`elixir/`) to the Elastic
License v2, keeping other components Apache 2.0 licensed.

What does this mean for 1.0 going forward?

[Elastic's FAQ](https://www.elastic.co/licensing/elastic-license/faq) is
broadly applicable to Firezone as well. Most notably, MSPs may still use
Firezone to provide general remote access services for third party
users, just not to the Firezone admin portal itself (and REST API).

### Why?
We would lose a little bit of business, though one could argue that the
tradeoff is worth it due to increased market exposure/distribution.

The main, tangible reasons for us today involve the negative impact this
has on our ability to reach product-market fit:
1. We lose the direct feedback channel with paying customers, isolating
them (and us) from our roadmap.
2. Reseller licenses should be offered as part of a proper partner
alliance / reseller program when we have the resources to support it,
which will result in a much better experience for all parties involved
(and restore the lost feedback channel).
3. Having outdated, unpatched, and potentially buggy Firezone instances
running in the wild that we have no visibility or insight into is a
major liability to our brand and reputation and may even result in a
legal liability depending on the jurisdiction and severity of the issue.
