feat/dual license (#550)

* ci: remove node version pin in site build workflow

* docs: clarify dual license (CC BY 4.0 for content, MIT for site code)

Alert rules and content (_data/rules.yml, dist/) are licensed under
Creative Commons CC BY 4.0. The site source code (site/) is licensed
under MIT. Both are now documented in LICENSE, site/LICENSE, the footer,
and the FAQ.
