Relicenses analytics from MIT to AGPL-3.0 (owner decision), with NOTICE (MIT up to the previous main commit), TRADEMARKS.md; contributions are licensed under AGPL-3.0 (no CLA).

Do not merge until contributor consent is collected (list kept privately by the owner) and a lawyer has reviewed CLA.md and TRADEMARKS.md. Earlier releases remain MIT.

Summary by Sourcery

Relicense the current OpenStrap codebase under AGPL-3.0 and establish contribution and trademark policies.

Enhancements:

  • Relicense the current project from MIT to AGPL-3.0 while preserving prior-release licensing through a NOTICE file.
  • Define contribution licensing terms and separate OpenStrap trademark usage requirements for forks and redistributed versions.

Documentation:

  • Update project documentation and licensing badges to describe AGPL-3.0 licensing and trademark protections.

Replace LICENSE with the full GNU AGPL v3 text. Add NOTICE recording that
versions up to e59d63c were MIT, TRADEMARKS.md for the
OpenStrap name and logo, and CLA.md with a CLA section in CONTRIBUTING.md.
Update the README license badge and add a License section.

Reviewer's Guide

This PR changes the current project license from MIT to AGPL-3.0, documents the transition and historical MIT coverage, adds a broad contributor license agreement with explicit acceptance requirements, and establishes separate trademark guidance. It also updates repository documentation and terminology to reflect the new licensing and branding policy; merging is explicitly gated on contributor consent and legal review.
