d206856905 docs: live downloads badge + fix AGPL-3.0 license detection (#1168 )

Two small README/packaging fixes.

1. Add a self-updating total-downloads badge next to the stars badge.
   shields.io re-queries the GitHub releases API on every page view, so the
   number (currently ~137k across 563 release assets) stays current without
   ever editing the README again.

2. Fix license detection. GitHub's API reported this repo as
   "Other" / NOASSERTION, which breaks the license UI and the corporate
   license scanners that gate adoption — the exact users the commercial
   license exception is for.

   The cause was packaging, not content: LICENSE carried a 53-line
   plain-language notice prepended above the AGPL text, which pushes the
   file below licensee's similarity threshold. The AGPL-3.0 body was
   already byte-identical to the canonical text at gnu.org.

   LICENSE is now the verbatim canonical AGPL-3.0 text and nothing else.
   The notice — including the commercial-license offer, the scope section,
   and the Apache-2.0 carve-out for the bundled omnivoice/ model — moves
   verbatim to LICENSE-NOTICE.md, linked from LICENSE and the README.
   No terms changed.

OmniVoice Studio — License Notice

Abbreviation

AGPL-3.0-only

Notice

OmniVoice Studio is free and open-source software, licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License, Version 3 (AGPL-3.0). You are free to use, copy, modify, and redistribute it — and that includes commercial and internal business use: run the app, use its outputs commercially, sell the audio you produce with it, provide professional/client services with it, and deploy it within your organization.

Because this is the Affero GPL, one additional obligation applies: if you modify OmniVoice Studio and make that modified version available to others over a network, you must also offer those users the complete corresponding source code of your modified version under these same AGPL-3.0 terms. See the full text in LICENSE.

A commercial license is available for organizations that want to embed OmniVoice Studio in a closed-source or proprietary product or service without the AGPL-3.0 copyleft obligations. Pricing tiers are coming soon; for inquiries contact OmniVoice@palash.dev.

(This Notice is a plain-language summary; the binding terms are the full GNU AGPL-3.0 text in LICENSE.)

Scope

These terms cover the OmniVoice Studio application — the Tauri desktop shell (frontend/src-tauri/), the React frontend (frontend/src/), the FastAPI backend (backend/), and supporting build / packaging scripts (scripts/, Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml, .github/).

The bundled omnivoice/ Python package — the underlying TTS model by Han Zhu — is separately licensed under Apache License 2.0 by its upstream authors and is not relicensed here. Apache License 2.0 is compatible with, and may be combined under, the GNU AGPL-3.0. See pyproject.toml.

Third-party dependencies retain their own licenses. See Cargo.lock, bun.lock, and uv.lock for the resolved set.

Reference

The full canonical text of the GNU Affero General Public License, Version 3 is reproduced verbatim in LICENSE. The authoritative copy lives at https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.txt.

Why this notice is a separate file: LICENSE must contain the verbatim AGPL-3.0 text and nothing else, so GitHub's license detection (and the corporate license scanners that gate adoption) can identify it as AGPL-3.0-only rather than falling back to "Other" / NOASSERTION.
