At the operator's request. The only legal text so far was the GPL, which covers the code but says nothing about how it's used.

This adds a Responsible use section to the README, just above License, so it shows on the GitHub page and ships in every download:

  • DCCore is for sharing files you have the right to share: your own work, public-domain and Creative Commons works, and anything whose licence allows it. It comes with no content and points to none.
  • The operator decides what's shared and is responsible for it, under the laws where they live.
  • The contributors don't host, control, monitor or endorse anything any bot shares, and accept no liability for how the software is used. It points to the licence's no-warranty terms.

Kept short and plain on purpose: three calm paragraphs rather than a wall of legal-sounding text. It's a common kind of notice for file-sharing tools, not legal advice.

Documentation only; both changelogs are updated. Full suite 6609 OK. It merges cleanly with #925, #928 and #929.

A possible follow-up, if wanted: one line on the setup page's music-folder field and in INSTALL.md, "Share only what you have the right to share - everything in these folders is offered to anyone who asks."

…t shares

A Responsible use section above the licence: for sharing files the
operator has the right to share; no content, no pointers to any; the
operator decides and is responsible under their own laws; the
contributors host, control and endorse nothing any bot shares and accept
no liability for how it is used. Documentation only.
