Platform PR #365 (chore: license the client libraries Apache-2.0) relicenses datahub-java-sdk and datahub-api-model from AGPL to Apache-2.0, aligning them with the Python and Rust SDKs, which were Apache-2.0 already. The reason is the one a developer evaluating the SDK needs to hear: a client library gets linked into someone else's application, and a copyleft one carries its terms into that application. Nothing on this site mentioned a licence at all, so a reader who checked the POM before this change would have chosen the REST API over the SDK, or something else. Adds a short section to the landing page: the SDKs and the wire model are Apache-2.0, the platform is AGPL-3.0, and which side each licence covers. Verified: npm run build succeeds.
