Licence: the original is MIT; EVHardware is noncommercial

Leon Kernan's ABRP_Uploader has carried the MIT Licence since
2026-07-29 (lkernan/ABRP_Uploader commit 75d8f2bc), so the inherited
"no licence upstream, status unresolved" notes no longer hold.

- LICENSE: MIT, now naming every copyright holder in the fork chain
  (Leon Kernan, EVABRPUploader contributors, FatihsMG4 contributors,
  Nils Stinnesbeck).
- LICENSE.md: rewritten. The repository is MIT except EVHardware/,
  which is PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0; the app links it into the APK,
  so the built app is non-commercial. EVHardware's own caveat about
  EVProfile stays with it.
- README, AGENTS.md, CONTRIBUTING.md and SPECS.md say the same.

+
+`EVHardware/` (the shared vehicle layer from EVSuite) is source-available under the
