liu weikai c32cca6f19 fix(licensing): preserve upstream rights and correct prior license claims
Trail Mate's RNS and LXMF implementations are derived from Mark Qvist's
reference implementations, including source-derived generated code and
subsequently regenerated derivatives.

Earlier blanket AGPL descriptions and claims of maintainer copyright in
that material were mistakes and are void for those portions. This applies
to earlier revisions and releases, not only the current source tree. All
such derivatives retain the original copyright and Reticulum License:
2016-2026 Mark Qvist for RNS and 2020-2026 Mark Qvist for LXMF, unless
otherwise noted. No MIT, GPL or AGPL alternative is granted for those works.

Retain the complete derivative notice supplied by Mark, with only the
maintainer's name filled in, and the unchanged original upstream notices.
Correct README, LICENSE, COPYRIGHT, NOTICE, package descriptions and source
headers; document mixed-file boundaries and retain other authors' notices.
Preserve the old root AGPL text as an exact Git blob. Valid prior grants for
material the relevant licensor actually had authority to license remain
available. Git author/committer fields do not establish upstream ownership.

Offer MIT only for eligible maintainer-owned originals, including the
additional scoped TMAP grant at the unchanged dependency revision. Preserve
third-party, vendor and unresolved material under its applicable terms.

The port aims to faithfully preserve upstream behavior for supported
features. ESP32 adaptations focus on bounded memory and CPU use, explicit
buffer ownership, incremental work and platform separation alongside the
application workloads. These changes remain derivatives where based on
upstream source and do not claim full upstream feature parity.

Preserve LXST attribution and clearly require separate authorization; no
such permission is granted here. Install complete licensing notices with
Linux applications and Store packages while preserving runtime files and
other authors' notices.

LXST authorization, combined-release compatibility, unresolved provenance
boundaries and treatment of historical release artifacts remain open.
Affected publication remains paused. This correction does not supply any
missing permission or claim that previously distributed packages are fixed.

Validation: Linux simulator build and 155 tests passed; standalone gateway
12 tests passed; complete-license and package-preservation checks passed;
155 source bodies unchanged. One unrelated startup-order guard also fails
on the unchanged pre-correction baseline and is not altered here.
