Problem

#1998 moved contract/ to Apache-2.0 on 10 November. contract/LICENSE, contract/README.md and CONTRIBUTING.md say so. LICENSING.md still calls go/protocol "the exception", and NOTICE records only the wire-format module.

Change

• LICENSING.md lists both Apache-2.0 paths: contract/ and go/protocol.
• NOTICE gets a dated section for contract/, in the same form as the one for go/protocol.

No code changes, so this PR carries the no-changeset label.

Evidence

scripts/test_package_linux.py, scripts/test_package_legacy_linux.py and scripts/test_history_converter_package.py pass locally (16 tests). The packaging scripts reference these files.

Open question

The go/protocol relicensing waited for a lawyer to confirm it (#1588). The same check may apply to contract/, whose files were AGPL from 12 September to 10 November.

Found while checking license text across the FTW repositories. srcfl/ftw-webapp has a separate fix for its relay and escrow READMEs; neither PR depends on the other.

Docs only: LICENSING.md now lists contract/ next to go/protocol as Apache-2.0 exceptions, and NOTICE gets a dated section for contract/ in the same form as the protocol one.

• No security findings. No code, deps or hosts touched.
• Text matches what the PR says #1998 did (10 Nov); "Core links it and reads the contracts" is accurate as a non-change to Core's license.
• One check shows CANCELLED ("changeset present (or auto-exempt)"); everything else is green or skipped. Likely a superseded run, worth a re-run before merge.

Needs a human decision on the open question in the description: #1588 waited for a lawyer on go/protocol, and contract/ was AGPL from 12 Sep to 10 Nov, so the same sign-off may apply before this lands. Otherwise safe to merge from my read.
