docs: the font licenses ship with the fonts, the notices name them all

public/ is copied verbatim into the build, src/assets/ is not - so the fonts
were deployed without the license texts that OFL-1.1 and Bitstream Vera require
to travel with them. Moving the texts to public/font-licenses/ fixes that with
no build step. The notices covered only Liberation and missed five bundled
dependencies; the commercial license now states what it cannot relicense, the
copyleft German dictionary and thesaurus above all.

## 3. How to obtain a commercial license ## 3. What a commercial license does not cover
A commercial license covers the copyright holder's own work. It cannot change the
terms of third-party components, which keep their own licenses either way —
[`THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md`](./THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md) lists them all. Two points
matter for a proprietary distribution:
- The **fonts** (SIL Open Font License 1.1, and a Bitstream Vera-licensed subset)
may be bundled in proprietary software, provided their license files travel
with them.
- The bundled **German dictionary** (igerman98) is **GPL-2.0-or-3.0** and the
**German thesaurus** (OpenThesaurus) is **LGPL-2.1-or-later**. These are not the
copyright holder's to relicense. They are separate data files that the app loads
at runtime, not part of its code, so a proprietary distribution may either keep
them under their own copyleft terms or omit `public/dictionaries/de` and
`public/thesaurus/de` — the app then offers no German spell check or synonyms.
The English data is permissively licensed and unaffected.
