The Metric and Operation annotations in the org.rhq.helpers.pluginAnnotations.agent package should use the LGPL license (the other annotations in the same package do so already).

> The RHQ project is licensed under the GPL 2.0, which means that any project that uses RHQ libraries becomes GPL. Not only does this contradict Infinispan's license, but it's also a hidden dependency on a GPL library that makes any other project that thinks it's only using LGPL-compatible libraries actually a GPL project.
