Utsuwa moves from MIT to AGPL-3.0-or-later, effective with the 0.12.1 release.

Why: MIT allows closed-source hosted clones that never share changes back. AGPL keeps modifications to Utsuwa open, including when a modified version is offered as a network service. Nothing changes for users, self-hosters, or contributors using Utsuwa privately.

Scope of this PR, every license reference in the project:

  • LICENSE replaced with the canonical AGPL-3.0 text
  • package.json license field
  • README badge and license section, with a note that releases up to 0.12.0 remain MIT
  • CONTRIBUTING and the docs contributing page: contribution grant updated (contributors keep their copyright)
  • Marketing site footer link and copyright line
  • Homepage structured data license URL
  • Download page blurb
  • Terms of service, both references
  • Models directory README exception note
  • CHANGELOG entry for 0.12.1

Prior releases stay MIT permanently. Contributor attribution is unchanged. The largest outside contributor was consulted and approved before this change.
