license: switch from BSL-1.1 to MIT

MIT is true open source (OSI-approved) and provides the same liability
protection through its warranty disclaimer. The strengthened disclaimer
covering silent third-party failures, regulatory non-compliance, and
user verification responsibility is retained in the LICENSE file.

BSL restricted commercial use but didn't add legal protection — the
liability limitation is what protects against lawsuits, and that works
the same under MIT.
