Acknowledge all bundled third-party software and satisfy attribution/notice
requirements, while keeping it maintainable:
- THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md: human-readable manifest (component, copyright, SPDX
license, link) for fetched, vendored, and runtime/SDK dependencies.
- licenses/: verbatim license texts; COLLECT.sh regenerates them from the
build trees and system SDK locations.
- Bundle the verbatim Qt LGPL-3.0 text and the CUDA Toolkit 12.8 EULA.
- frontend: self-contained npm attribution generator (`npm run licenses` ->
dist/THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.txt), wired into the frontend build target.
- Install LICENSE + notices + licenses/ into share/doc/jfjoch for every
packaged component.
- viewer: Help > "Third-party Licenses" window (QTextBrowser) showing a
generated, self-contained HTML built from licenses/.
- docs/SOFTWARE.md: drop the stale hand-kept dependency lists; point at the
manifest.
