This PR updates the licensing and authorship for the SoilKnowledgeBase package to clarify its open source status, align with federal open source guidance, and adopt the MIT License.

  • Added an INTENT.md file to clearly explain the legal intent, copyright status, and licensing approach for the project, including treatment of U.S. Government works and external contributions.
  • Updated README.md and README.Rmd to include a new license section referencing the MIT License, the federal public domain status, and the new intent documentation.
  • Added a note in NEWS.md about the relicensing and legal clarification.
  • Updated .Rbuildignore to exclude the new INTENT.md and LICENSE.md files from the build.
