docs: rename the licence to GAIEST, drop the pronunciation guide (#1388)
* docs: rename the licence to GAIEST, drop the pronunciation guide The GAI Licence becomes the GAIEST Licence — the Generative Artificial Intelligence Evolving Software Technology Licence — bumping to Version 1.2 / LicenseRef-GAIEST-1.2 with a lineage note, and the pronunciation guides come out of the LICENSE header and README. The canonical URL (11factor.org/gai-licence) is unchanged here since that site lives outside this repo. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: point the licence URL at 11factor.org/gaiest-licence The canonical page moved with the rename (elevenmessenger/11factor#2); the old /gai-licence address redirects.
