docs(license): grant personal-account trading use to match README

Append an Additional Permissions section to the PolyForm Noncommercial
License 1.0.0. The base PolyForm text is unmodified; the section only
broadens the grant. It explicitly permits a natural person to use the
software for their own personal account, including running a trading
bot on their own capital for profit, matching the README's plain-English
summary (hobby trading bots: all fine). Commercial sale of the software
or of services built around it still requires a commercial license.

## Additional Permissions Granted by the Licensor
These additional permissions supplement the PolyForm Noncommercial
License 1.0.0 above. They only broaden, and never narrow, the
licenses granted to you. The text of the PolyForm Noncommercial
License 1.0.0 above is unmodified.
Use by a natural person, acting for their own personal account and
not on behalf of any third party, is use for a permitted purpose.
This includes operating an automated trading bot or trading strategy
on that person's own capital, whether or not it earns that person
money.
For the avoidance of doubt, the licenses above already let you use,
fork, modify, and redistribute the software, and file issues and
contribute changes, for any permitted purpose. Personal projects,
research, education, nonprofit organizations, government use, and
hobby trading bots are permitted purposes.
Any other commercial use — in particular the commercial sale of the
software itself, or the commercial sale of services built around it —
requires a separate commercial license from the licensor. If you want
to use Wickra commercially, get in touch about a license at
