Switch license to CC BY-NC 4.0 and emphasize attribution requirement

Browse source 
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.
