LICENSE.md: EVProfile's upstream licence is settled

Browse Source 
EVHardware's notes call the licence of EVProfile's upstream unresolved.
Checked: malys/EVProfile is MIT, forked from SliDeeN/MG4Control and last
merged from it on 2026-08-02. MG4Control is MIT up to 2.6.5
(2026-08-05) and GPL v3 from 2.6.6 (2026-09-02), with the earlier
versions staying MIT, so the code EVProfile took is from the MIT
period. Recorded with links; not an audit of every EVHardware line.

question:
- [malys/EVProfile](https://github.com/malys/EVProfile) is MIT. It is a fork of
[SliDeeN/MG4Control](https://github.com/SliDeeN/MG4Control), and its last merge from
MG4Control is a commit of 2026-08-02.
- MG4Control is MIT up to and including 2.6.5 (released 2026-08-05; its licence file dates
from 2026-06-24) and GPL v3 or later from 2.6.6 (2026-09-02). Its `LICENCE.md` states that
the earlier versions stay MIT for good.
So what EVProfile took from MG4Control dates from MG4Control's MIT period. This covers the
lineage EVHardware names; it is not an audit of every line in EVHardware.
