Pull request overview
This PR changes Neolith’s licensing documentation by introducing a new docs/LICENSE, removing the bundled docs/GPLv2_LICENSE, and updating MudOS copyright text to no longer claim GPLv2 distribution—aiming to resolve a stated contradiction with upstream LPMud/MudOS restrictions.
Changes:
- Added a new
docs/LICENSEdescribing non-commercial terms and mudlib/user-space scope. - Removed the bundled GPLv2 text file (
docs/GPLv2_LICENSE). - Removed GPLv2 distribution language from
docs/Copyright.MudOS.

docs/Copyright.MudOS:22
- This file no longer states that Neolith is distributed under GPLv2, but the repository README still links to docs/GPLv2_LICENSE (which this PR deletes). That will leave a broken link and conflicting license documentation unless the README is updated (or an alternative license reference is provided).
