poduck 79fde43a51 docs: Add comprehensive Plugin Licensing section to documentation
Added new "Plugin Licensing" section to plugin documentation that covers:

**SmoothSchedule Community Plugin License (SCPL):**
- Custom license for marketplace plugins
- Grants platform rights to use, execute, host, and distribute code
- Grants users rights to install, use, and modify for their business
- Requires attribution to original author
- Allows users to adapt code but not republish without permission
- Permits authors to unpublish anytime (existing installs continue)
- Authors retain copyright and can license elsewhere
- Similar to MIT License + Platform Service Rights

**Private vs. Marketplace Plugins:**
- Private plugins: Full ownership, any license (or none), private to business
- Marketplace plugins: Must use SCPL, visible to all users, author credited
- Both types: Platform can execute code to provide automation service

**Key Features:**
- Comparison table showing differences between private and marketplace plugins
- Code verification and security requirements documented
- Decision guide for when to publish vs. keep private
- Important notices about warranties, compliance, and data privacy
- Platform service rights clearly explained

**Legal Protections:**
- Platform has rights to execute user code for service delivery
- No warranty disclaimer (plugins "as-is")
- User compliance responsibility for laws and regulations
- Data privacy obligations (GDPR, CCPA compliance)

The SCPL is designed to be marketplace-friendly while protecting both
the platform and plugin authors, similar to how npm/PyPI handle packages
but with added platform service rights for SaaS execution.
