kingchenc 11dd659b5f Relicense from PolyForm Noncommercial to MIT OR Apache-2.0 (#158)
Relicenses Wickra from PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0 to the dual, OSI-approved **MIT OR Apache-2.0** (the de-facto Rust convention). Wickra becomes permissive, commercial-use-permitted open source; users may choose either license.

## Changes
- Replace `LICENSE` (PolyForm) with `LICENSE-MIT` + `LICENSE-APACHE` (full texts).
- Cargo: workspace `license = "MIT OR Apache-2.0"` (SPDX) + all 7 sub-crates switched from `license-file.workspace` to `license.workspace`.
- `deny.toml`: drop PolyForm from the allowlist.
- Python: `pyproject.toml` PEP 639 SPDX expression; remove the non-commercial classifier (verified: sdist metadata emits `License-Expression: MIT OR Apache-2.0`).
- Node: `package.json`, the 6 platform manifests and both lockfiles.
- README + Python/Node/WASM binding READMEs, CONTRIBUTING, CITATION.cff, PR template, and the WASM `pkg.license` step in `release.yml`.
- SECURITY.md: refresh supported versions 0.1.x -> 0.4.x.
- CHANGELOG: note the relicense under [Unreleased].

## Notes
- No code changes; metadata/text only. `cargo build` and `cargo deny check licenses` pass locally.
- GitHub will auto-detect "MIT, Apache-2.0" once this lands (currently NOASSERTION).
- Matching downstream changes (org `.github` profile, webpage, docs) are in separate PRs; merge those together with the relicense release so the live sites and org profile do not claim MIT before the packages do.

**Streaming-first technical indicators for Python. `pip install wickra` — no
system dependencies, no C build tooling.**
Wickra is a multi-language technical-analysis library with a Rust core and
bindings for Python, Node.js, and WebAssembly. Every indicator is an O(1)
streaming state machine, so live trading bots and historical backtests share
the exact same implementation. This package is the Python binding (PyO3); it
exposes 200+ streaming-first indicators across sixteen families.
## Install
```bash
pip install wickra
```
Pre-built wheels ship for Linux, macOS, and Windows — there is nothing to
compile and no C library to track down.
## Quick start
```python
import numpy as np
import wickra as ta
# Batch: classic TA-Lib-style usage over a whole array.
prices = np.linspace(100, 200, 1000)
rsi = ta.RSI(14)
values = rsi.batch(prices) # numpy array, NaN during warmup
# Streaming: the same indicator, fed tick by tick in O(1).
rsi = ta.RSI(14)
for price in live_feed:
value = rsi.update(price) # no recomputation over history
if value is not None and value > 70:
print("overbought")
```
`batch(prices)` and feeding the same prices through `update()` produce
identical values — the equivalence is enforced by the test suite.
## Documentation
The full indicator catalogue, guides, quickstarts, and API reference live in
the main repository and documentation site:
- **Repository & full indicator list:** <https://github.com/wickra-lib/wickra>
- **Docs** (quickstarts, cookbook, TA-Lib migration): <https://docs.wickra.org>
- **Runnable examples:** [`examples/python/`](https://github.com/wickra-lib/wickra/tree/main/examples/python)
Wickra ships four bindings — Python, Node.js, WebAssembly, and Rust — that all
expose the same indicators from the shared, `unsafe`-forbidden Rust core.
## Disclaimer
Wickra is an indicator toolkit, not a trading system. The values it computes
are deterministic transforms of the input data — they are not financial advice
and do not predict the market. Any use in a live trading context is at your own
risk. The library is provided **as is**, without warranty of any kind.
