legal: font license texts on the ISO; permissive source-available MontaukOS license
- Ship each bundled font's license at 0:/os/licenses/: OFL-1.1 copies for JetBrains Mono, Noto Serif, and Roboto, and AGPLv3 + font-embedding exception for C059 (URW Base 35). - THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt gains sections for all four font families and now describes MontaukOS as source-available. - license.txt rewritten as the MontaukOS Software License: use, study, modify, and redistribute freely with attribution; selling or bundling into commercial products still requires permission. Replaces the previous no-copy/no-modify/no-redistribute EULA. - The MontaukOS license itself now also ships on the ISO (0:/os/licenses/LICENSE.txt, sourced from the website copy). - man legal updated: license pointer + full third-party component list.
