docs: state the code/data license split explicitly
The License section read "MIT. Ground-truth annotations derive from the Vesuvius Challenge open data release" — incomplete on both counts. It did not mention that data/pherc1667_merged_columns/ is CC BY-NC 4.0, and it attributed all ground truth to the open data release when the 1667 column coordinates and transcription come from the Angelotti et al. preprint. meta.json already stated the split correctly ("ScrollGT code is MIT; this data directory inherits CC BY-NC"), so this aligns the front page with the per-target metadata rather than changing any licensing fact. Matters because the repo is a prize submission artifact and the prize terms require a permissive license for the method: the code is MIT, and the one non-commercial directory is third-party scholarly work that cannot be relicensed, so it needs to be visible up front.
