Summary

Updates project wording to better reflect Cattr's current SSPL-1.0 licensing model.

Changes

  • remove open source wording from the frontend slogan;
  • add several neutral self-hosting focused slogans;
  • update SECURITY.md to avoid describing the project as open source.

Motivation

Cattr Server is distributed under the Server Side Public License 1.0 (SSPL-1.0), which is not an OSI-approved open-source license.

Using neutral terms such as self-hosted and community-maintained keeps the project description consistent with its actual licensing model.

Related to #286.

Remove inconsistency between branding/promotion and license. Either pick an Open Source license or remove any indication that Cattr is Open Source
