docs(license): state AGPL-3.0 in the READMEs, matching the LICENSE file 

LICENSE became AGPL-3.0-only in 037eb248, but both READMEs still told readers
the project was MIT — the one place a user actually looks before deciding what
they may do with it. The two "license notes" underneath were MIT-shaped as
well: attribution and a disclaimer, with no mention of copyleft at all.

They now say what AGPL actually requires, including section 13, which is the
clause that matters most here: Felis is a hosting platform reached over a
network, so a modified deployment owes its source to the people using it even
if no binary is ever distributed. Leaving that unsaid was the part that could
mislead someone into a violation they never intended.

1. **衍生作品同样是 AGPL**：分发本项目的副本或基于本项目衍生的软件时，必须以 AGPL-3.0 开源，并保留原作者的版权声明和许可声明。

2. **通过网络提供服务同样要开源**（AGPL 第 13 条）：如果你把修改过的 Felis 架起来给别人用，即使从不分发任何二进制，也必须向这些用户提供你那份修改后的完整源码。这是 AGPL 相对 GPL 的唯一实质区别，而 Felis 正是一个跑在网络上的托管平台，所以这一条基本总会触发。

1. **Derivative works are AGPL too**: Any distribution of this project or of software derived from it must be released under AGPL-3.0 and must include the original copyright notice and license statement.

2. **Running it as a network service also triggers the source obligation** (AGPL section 13): if you host a modified Felis for other people to use, you must offer those users the complete source of your modified version — even if you never distribute a binary. This is the one substantive difference between AGPL and GPL, and since Felis is a hosting platform reached over a network, it will essentially always apply.
