Replace the GPL-3.0 license with the Mozilla Public License 2.0, update the Conan SPDX license id, and document the license (and third-party/GPL distribution caveat) in the README. Note: distributing a combined binary with GPL components (e.g. pdf2htmlEX) may still subject the whole to those components' terms. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The License section warned about GPL build/distribution deps (pdf2htmlEX) but linked to tools/pdf/THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.md, which only documents generated PDF font/encoding data provenance. Split the two: name the optional GPL components (pdf2htmlEX, wvWare) and point to their own licenses, and scope the THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.md link to the generated PDF data it actually covers. Also drop stale "GPLv3 project" references from that file, now MPL-2.0. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
