chore(licence): the Licensor and copyright holder is Cadasto B.V. - #230

Conversation
The Licensor and copyright holder of FerroCHART's own work is Cadasto B.V., which replaces Vernum Projecten B.V. Every statement of the holder changes in this one change, so no two of them disagree: the root LICENSE and NOTICE and every SPDX-FileCopyrightText header on a project-owned file. The licence itself does not change, vendored third-party material keeps its upstream terms, and maintainer credit stays a person. The governance text names "the Licensor named in LICENSE", so it follows without an edit. Closes #229

What changed and why
The Licensor and copyright holder of FerroCHART's own work is Cadasto B.V., which replaces Vernum Projecten B.V. (owner ruling of 2026-10-05). Every statement of the holder moves in this one PR:
LICENSE(Licensor:andThe Licensed Work is (c) 2026 …),NOTICE, and theSPDX-FileCopyrightTextheader of every project-owned file (405 files). The licence terms, Additional Use Grant, Change Date and Change License are unchanged; vendored material keeps its upstream terms (only our ownPROVENANCE.mdheaders and the vendor scripts that write them move); maintainer credit stays a person.CONTRIBUTING.md,GOVERNANCE.md,README.mdand the site name "the Licensor named inLICENSE" rather than a company, so they follow without an edit.git grep Vernumnow finds only the v0.1.1 changelog entry for #214, which is history. A new[Unreleased]entry records the change, and.claude/memory/license-busl.mdrecords the holder history.Closes #229
