Two governance/clarity docs.

1. AROMA.md β€” name the richest target, and why we defer it

States explicitly that OpenPOM's curated curated_GS_LF_merged_4983.csv (~4,983 molecules, expert labels) is the richest aroma-descriptor dataset available, and is exactly what we'd train on β€” deferred solely for legal reasons (NonCommercial/proprietary), not technical. A more legally-aggressive actor might use it; for a commercial product we won't. The clean route to comparable richness is a PMP 2001 license or customer data.

2. CLA β€” so the project can be open-source and commercial

CLA.md: contributors keep copyright but grant the project owner (Echelon Technology Solutions) a relicensing right β€” the actual mechanism that lets Flavormancer ship both as open source and as proprietary on-premise builds for customers. Accepted via commit sign-off (git commit -s, DCO-style). CONTRIBUTING.md now requires sign-off.

Template for the internal team β€” flagged for legal review before commercial reliance.

…add CLA

- AROMA.md: state plainly that OpenPOM's curated GS-LF (~4,983 molecules) is the
  richest aroma-descriptor data found anywhere and exactly what we'd train on β€”
  deferred SOLELY for legal reasons (NonCommercial/proprietary), not technical.
  The clean route to comparable richness is PMP 2001 license or customer data.
- CLA.md: lightweight Contributor License Agreement β€” contributors keep copyright
  but grant a relicensing right, so Flavormancer can be both open-source and the
  basis of proprietary on-premise customer builds. Accepted via commit sign-off.
- CONTRIBUTING.md: require `git commit -s` sign-off (DCO + CLA).
