Bohan Jiang 0314df3b8e docs(license): widen the branding condition to all UI code and add NOTICE (MUL-5558) (#6197)
* docs(license): widen the branding condition to all UI code and add NOTICE (MUL-5558)

The branding condition in 1b defined Multica's "frontend" as `apps/web/`
only, which left the code that actually renders the console brand outside
its own scope: the sidebar, invite and new-workspace brand surfaces live in
`packages/views/`, and the Electron and iOS clients mount the whole console
from `@multica/views` without touching `apps/web/`. A rebranded desktop
build could therefore satisfy the condition literally while removing every
Multica mark.

Replace the directory-enumerated "frontend" with a derivation-based
"Multica user interface" covering `apps/web/`, `apps/desktop/`,
`apps/mobile/`, `packages/views/` and `packages/ui/` across source, the
Docker "web" image, and compiled desktop/mobile binaries. Keep the
non-interface exemption so backend-only use stays governed by 1a rather
than by branding, and add 1c so that path still carries attribution.

Add a NOTICE file to give the attribution obligation somewhere to land:
the repository had none, and no per-file copyright headers, so Apache 2.0
section 4(c)/(d) had nothing to reproduce.

Move the "commercial license must be obtained" sentence into 1a, since it
describes only that condition and 1b/1c are cured by written authorization
and attribution respectively, not by purchase.

* docs(license): separate the commercial license from the branding waiver (MUL-5558)

Conditions (a) and (b) were both cured by "explicitly authorized by
Multica in writing", so one authorization letter could be read as
releasing both — handing over commercial hosting rights when only a
rebranding permission was intended.

Name the two grants distinctly: (a) is cured only by a commercial license
obtained from the producer, (b) only by a written branding waiver. Add (d)
stating that neither implies the other and that neither can be inferred
from the producer's silence or from acceptance of contributions.
