The licence notice names this program and its author

Refs iderex/operations#1552.

The appendix of the licence file, the section headed "How to Apply These Terms
to Your New Programs", carried a worked example naming hoersaal and not this
repository. The file had been copied and the two lines that identify the program
were never adapted; thirty-one public boards carry the same pair.

The copyright line now names the author. Across the fleet that line stood in two
forms, iderex on thirty-seven boards and Nils Lehnen on nine, and the second
is the one that stays: under the law that applies here the author of a work is
the natural person who made it, and an organisation holds rights rather than
authorship.

Nothing operative changes. Both lines sit after END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS,
inside instructional text addressed to an author. The grant is the AGPL-3.0 as
published, unmodified, and it was unmodified before this change too.

Closes #171
