Merge v0.2.5 card fix (1000 Novels rights note) into main

Brings 7ae4ac7, the new target of the v0.2.5 tag, into main's history.
Conflicts in README.md and src/sources.py resolved by applying the same
change to main's hand-maintained README and CRLF sources.py.

 ## Licensing — traceable basis
 The 1000 Novels Corpus is released under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International by CLARIN-PL / Wrocław University of Technology, with attribution to the corpus authors and maintainers.
 
+## Rights note (per-text screen, September 2026)
+The CC-BY-4.0 licence covers the corpus as compiled by CLARIN-PL. It cannot license

+| status | texts |

+| author or translator could not be verified | 143 |

+Releases up to v0.2.5 label all 1,000 texts `CC-BY-4.0`. Before the next release, the
+17 in-copyright texts should be relabelled `CC-BY-SA-3.0` with Wolne Lektury
+attribution or removed, and the 143 unverified texts withheld until their rights are
+established.

 ## Provenance
 Pulled from SpeakLeash's public redistribution (`speakleash-ds-pub`, key `1000_novels_corpus_CLARIN-PL`) of the upstream CLARIN-PL source. SpeakLeash credited as intermediate aggregator; upstream license/attribution preserved.
