Marcus Kida 577a5d7f96 Rebrand to FreeTRX: new README, LICENSE.md, keep OpenGD77 README 
- Rename the project to FreeTRX (fork of OpenGD77).
- New README.md documenting the fork and its upstream source
  (OpenGD77 R20260131 / OpenGD77_MDUV380_DM1701_20260130).
- Preserve the original project README as README.OpenGD77.md.
- Add LICENSE.md reproducing the inherited OpenGD77 license (modified
  BSD 3-Clause + non-commercial clause). The license is NOT GPL-compatible and
  cannot be relicensed; all original copyrights are retained.

License

FreeTRX is a fork of the OpenGD77 firmware and inherits its license. The original license terms of the OpenGD77 source are reproduced below and apply in full to this project, including all modifications made in this fork.

Note on the license: this is a modified BSD 3-Clause license with an additional non-commercial clause (clause 4). Because of that clause it is not an OSI-approved open-source license and is not compatible with the GNU GPL — the code cannot be relicensed under the GPL or any permissive license. Commercial use is prohibited.
