Summary

This PR updates the project licensing from BSD 3-Clause to Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0), and refreshes the copyright year to 2026.

What changed

  • updated the top-level LICENSE file
  • changed the copyright notice to 2026
  • replaced the old BSD 3-Clause text with a CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 notice
  • expanded the LICENSE file with a plain-English summary of:
    • what is permitted
    • what attribution and share-alike obligations apply
    • what is not permitted, especially commercial use
    • the note that the official Creative Commons license text controls
  • updated book/content/repomgt/license.md so the book’s licensing discussion reflects the project’s current license choice
