What
Replaces the custom Devlane Software License with the standard MIT License.
The previous license was MIT-style but added a non-commercial "Additional Use Restriction" that prohibited reselling or offering a hosted/SaaS version of the Software. This PR drops that restriction and adopts plain MIT, so Devlane is fully open source with no commercial-use limits.
Why
To make Devlane a genuinely open, permissively-licensed project that teams and contributors can use, self-host, and build on without restriction.
Change
LICENSE: custom Devlane Software License → standard MIT License (same 2026 Devlane copyright).No code changes.
