feat(legal): resolve DEC-020 — dual-license under Apache-2.0 OR MIT

Browse Source 
Closes the only previously-open decision in the register. Chanora is
now dual-licensed under either:

  * Apache License, Version 2.0 (LICENSE-APACHE), OR
  * MIT License (LICENSE-MIT)

at the recipient's option. This is the standard Rust-ecosystem
permissive model and is compatible with every direct dependency
in the PoC tree:

  tsclientlib          MIT OR Apache-2.0
  flutter_rust_bridge  MIT
  cpal                 Apache-2.0
  rusqlite             MIT
  keyring              MIT OR Apache-2.0
  hound                Apache-2.0
  ndk-context, jni, android_logger, regex, serde, tokio,
  tracing, thiserror, zeroize, etc.   MIT OR Apache-2.0

and with the Flutter framework's BSD-3-Clause.

Files added:
  - LICENSE-APACHE  Apache 2.0 license text.
  - LICENSE-MIT     MIT license text with the standard 2026 copyright
                    line.

Files updated:
  - LICENSE     Now the dual-license aggregator. Includes the standard
                Apache-2.0 inbound-contribution clause ("Unless you
                explicitly state otherwise, any contribution
                intentionally submitted for inclusion in Chanora by you,
                as defined in the Apache-2.0 license, shall be
                dual-licensed as above, without any additional terms or
                conditions.").
  - NOTICE      Rewritten with the dual-license declaration and an
                inventory of direct dependencies with their upstream
                licenses. Transitive deps remain to be enumerated by
                build tooling (cargo about, Flutter LicenseRegistry).
  - README.md   §License section rewritten to point at LICENSE-APACHE
                and LICENSE-MIT.
  - docs/governance/product-decision-register.md v0.9.5 → v0.9.6:
    DEC-020 status: Open → Accepted. §4 license row updated. §6
    collapsed: every previously-Proposed or Open decision in the
    register is now resolved. DEC-012 legal review remains as a
    release-gating *work* item, but is not an open decision.
  - docs/governance/poc-results-summary.md v0.3.0 → v0.4.0:
    RISK-PoC-003 closed. DEC-020 row moved out of 'Still open'.

This is a license-model commitment, not a substitute for the
DEC-012 legal review. Per DEC-012 the actual legal review work
(transitive-dep OSS obligations, trademark registrability, final
sign-off on the non-affiliation wording) must still be completed
before any public/store release; that is sign-off work, not an
architectural decision.

The license is compatible with every direct dependency in the PoC tree (tsclientlib, flutter_rust_bridge, cpal, rusqlite, keyring, hound, etc.) and with the Flutter framework's BSD-3-Clause. License texts added as `LICENSE-APACHE` and `LICENSE-MIT` at the repository root; the existing `LICENSE` file now aggregates both with the dual-license declaration and the standard Apache-2.0 inbound-contribution clause. `NOTICE` populated with current direct-dependency attributions. README §License rewritten. §4 updated. §6 collapsed: there is no longer any open decision — DEC-012 legal review remains a pending *work* item, not a pending decision. With this change, every previously-Proposed or Open decision in the register has been resolved; the only outstanding release-gating activity is the DEC-012 legal review itself (which is sign-off work, not an architectural choice). |
