docs: add copyleft enforcement research corpus

[zackees]

Summary

• add a license-agnostic reciprocal/open-source/source-available research corpus
• index 20 legal-question memos and 102 reusable authority cards
• add U.S. and international case censuses, license comparisons, doctrine/remedy synthesis, proposition routing, search logs, and coverage audit
• normalize posture, precedential weight, source quality, source URL, language, and translation metadata for paralegal-AI retrieval
• preserve the human-attorney review gate and leave LICENSE unchanged

Validation

• unique matter and authority identifiers
• complete matter and authority index coverage
• required metadata present and controlled values valid
• repository-wide local Markdown links resolve
• git diff --check
• uv run pytest -q excluding zccache_fingerprint_success_failure_and_invalidation (21 passed, 1 deselected)

The excluded test has an existing Windows/zccache failure in tools/license_headers.py where a missing stderr value is dereferenced; this documentation-only change does not touch that code.

Closes #17
