MrMasterbay e261c60734 license: add AGPL §7(b) attribution term (NOTICE) + strengthen portal legal notice
Make removing 'Powered by PegaProx' from the client portal an unambiguous license
violation, not just an inference:
- NOTICE (new): declare, under AGPL-3.0 Section 7(b), that the 'Powered by PegaProx'
  attribution is a REQUIRED author attribution / Appropriate Legal Notice that must
  be preserved in every copy + modified version + network instance (§13). PegaProx
  is AGPL-3.0 only — no separate proprietary/white-label license; the attribution
  applies to everyone without exception.
- portal.html: turn the footer into a complete Appropriate Legal Notice (add the
  © 2025-2026 PegaProx Team copyright + Source + AGPL-3.0 links alongside the
  attribution) and flag it in a comment as a required §7(b) notice.
- README: reference the NOTICE §7(b) term + the §13 source-disclosure obligation.

PegaProx — NOTICE
=================
Copyright (C) 2025-2026 PegaProx Team and contributors.
PegaProx is free software licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License,
version 3 (AGPL-3.0). The full license text is in the LICENSE file and at
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.html.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADDITIONAL TERMS (Section 7 of the GNU AGPL v3)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to Section 7(b) of the GNU Affero General Public License, version 3,
the following additional term applies to the Program and to every modified or
derivative version of it:
ATTRIBUTION. You must retain, and must not remove, hide, obscure, disable, or
alter, the "Powered by PegaProx" author attribution and its accompanying legal
notice that the Program displays in its client portal user interface (and any
functionally equivalent attribution the Program displays elsewhere in its user
interface). The attribution must remain visible, legible, and functional —
including the link to https://pegaprox.com and the accompanying copyright,
source-code, and license references — in every copy you convey and in every
instance you make available to users over a network (see Section 13 below),
whether or not the Program has been modified.
This "Powered by PegaProx" attribution is a reasonable author attribution and
legal notice within the meaning of Section 7(b), and forms part of the
"Appropriate Legal Notices" of the Program.
Removing, hiding, disabling, or replacing this attribution — for example, so that
a hosted client panel no longer displays "Powered by PegaProx" — is a violation
of this license.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REMINDER — Section 13 (Remote Network Interaction)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Independently of the attribution term above, Section 13 of the AGPL-3.0 requires
that if you run a modified version of this Program and make it available to users
over a computer network, you must offer those users access to the Corresponding
Source of your modified version, free of charge, through a network server.
In practice this means: if you modify PegaProx (including by editing or removing
its branding) and host it for others to use, you must publish the complete source
of your modified version to those users.
PegaProx is distributed under the AGPL-3.0 only; there is no separate proprietary
or "white-label" license. The attribution above therefore applies to every user
of PegaProx without exception. Licensing questions: https://pegaprox.com.
