chore(licence): normalise to MPL-2.0 (code) + CC-BY-SA-4.0 (docs) (#33)

hyperpolymath · claude · web-flow · commit accf7ed860d4 · 2026-06-24T09:33:51.000+01:00
- LICENSES/ = {MPL-2.0.txt, CC-BY-SA-4.0.txt} (canonical)
- root LICENSE = MPL-2.0 (SPDX header + full body) so GitHub displays MPL-2.0
- SPDX: code -&gt; MPL-2.0, docs (.md/.adoc) -&gt; CC-BY-SA-4.0
- fixed metadata license fields + licence badges; vendored/upstream paths untouched
