v0.22: licensing-marker — Apache 2.0 + AI-attribution + open/closed boundary

Establishes the licensing architecture for the Nimmerworld project. The
boundary EXISTS architecturally as soon as this marker lands; subsequent
content extraction (cosmology migration, reference-stubbing in open papers)
becomes editorial cleanup without licensing-ambiguity growth.

FILES ADDED

  LICENSE       — Apache License 2.0 standard text; copyright held by
                  Nimmerverse Studio (David Martin), per Swiss copyright-law
                  attribution requirement that the human author's name appear.

  NOTICE        — Project name + copyright + AI-collaboration attribution.
                  Identifies Claude (Anthropic) as collaborator; the partnership
                  identity within this project is "chrysalis" with git-attribution
                  to chrysalis <chrysalis@eachpath.local>. Names the open/closed
                  scope and trademark holdings.

  LICENSING.md  — Discursive explanation of the open/closed split. The license-
                  architecture mirrors the work's own substrate/content distinction
                  at the world-layer: engine-mechanics + general body-canon are
                  open under Apache 2.0; specific creative-art content (the
                  Imperial Cult cosmology; named narrative; dialog; voiced content;
                  the iconographic invention layered on top of the substrate) is
                  proprietary nimmerverse-studio. Pattern-precedent cited: D&D 5e
                  Open Game License + id Software's Doom release + Magic the
                  Gathering's mechanics-vs-cards distinction.

FILES MODIFIED

  imperial-cult/cosmology.md  — per-file proprietary header added at the top
                  marking this file as pending-migration to the closed studio-art
                  repository. The header serves as an explicit license-override
                  on this file specifically; it states All Rights Reserved under
                  Nimmerverse Studio while the rest of the repo is Apache 2.0.

WHAT THIS MEANS GOING FORWARD

The architecture-substrate (vocations.md, consent-discipline.md, gender-parity.md,
trait-palette.md, style-index.md, the architecture.md mechanics-papers across
domains, bodies.md, political-register/architecture.md and economics.md, etc.)
is now licensed under Apache 2.0 and inherits this license for all future work.

The Imperial Cult cosmology is marked-but-not-yet-migrated; cosmology.md stays
in this repo physically until the closed studio-art repository is established,
but its content is governed by the per-file proprietary header.

Trademarks ("Nimmerworld", "Nimmerverse", "Nimmerverse Studio") are protected
separately from the code-license per Apache 2.0 §6.

NEXT STEPS (FOR DAFIT)

1. Establish nimmerverse-studio as a legal entity (Switzerland)
2. Register the trademarks
3. Create the closed studio-art repository (e.g., nimmerverse-studio-art at
   studio.nimmerverse.com or equivalent)
4. Migration session: move cosmology.md + extract specific Imperial-Cult
   references from open papers + replace with structural stubs

+vocation-system, the consent-discipline, the trait-palette, and related
+design papers.
+
+Specific creative-art content (the Imperial Cult cosmology, named narrative,
+specific dialog, voiced content, and other proprietary world-IP) is held
