Switch license to CC BY-NC 4.0 and emphasize attribution requirement
Drops the NoDerivatives restriction so researchers can remix, annotate, translate, and build on the material non-commercially. Tightens the attribution language in both the LICENSE and the README banner, adds a recommended attribution string, and points readers at the BibTeX citation in the README for academic use. The non-commercial scope and the AI-training carve-out are unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
