feat: switch to Weboria's own registry, clean licensing docs, expand product copy

Registry: docker-compose.yml now pulls argus-api/argus-ui/argus-proxy from
git-cloud.weboria.eu/weboria (Gitea's built-in container registry) instead
of ghcr.io. Built and pushed real production images from main (v3.73.0)
before switching — verified anonymous `docker pull` works for all three
with zero login required, matching the public installer's no-friction
promise. install.sh's registry comment updated to match; no more "gap."

Licensing: reworked per a full commercial-distribution review. Removed
MaxMind/GeoLite2 entirely (confirmed geoip2-golang isn't even in go.mod —
GeoIP is RIR-based, not MaxMind-based, and has been for a while).
Clarified TimescaleDB's licensing story (embedded component distributed
as part of the appliance, not a hosted DB service) rather than leaving it
under a vague "reviewed before bundling" note. Added missing real
dependencies grounded against the actual Dockerfiles (Alpine Linux,
PostgreSQL, Go runtime, Node.js build-time-only, OpenSSL, curl, BusyBox).
Renamed THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES -> THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.md, added a
"Weboria Proprietary Components" section. Removed the "pending legal
review" section that was specifically about MaxMind/TimescaleDB, now
resolved by the above -- LICENSE's own placeholder-pending-final-terms
disclaimer stays, since drafting real commercial license text is separate
legal work, not something to paper over.

README: removed the internal "this repo contains no proprietary code"
meta-description (customers don't need to see project scaffolding notes)
and the "known gap" callout (both gaps closed above). Expanded the
feature list with a dedicated ANIS Threat Intelligence section and richer
detail on DNS Security, Bot/AI-crawler defense, and the Guided Security
Policy Center. Stronger positioning copy up top.

 ## ✨ Key Features
 
 ### 🛡️ Web Application Firewall
-ModSecurity v3 with the OWASP Core Rule Set. Paranoia levels 1–4, per-host rule exceptions,
+ModSecurity v3 running the full OWASP Core Rule Set, tunable across paranoia levels 1–4 per
-detection-only or blocking modes.
+site — start permissive on a new application, tighten as you learn its traffic. Detection-only
+or blocking mode per host, per-rule exceptions for known false positives, and a Rule Health
+view that tracks which rules are actually earning their keep versus generating noise, so tuning
+is based on evidence, not guesswork.
+
+### 🧠 ANIS Threat Intelligence
+ARGUS ships connected by default to **ANIS (Argus Network Intelligence Server)**, a
+community-powered reputation network: every ARGUS deployment that opts in contributes
+confirmed-attacker IPs and receives the aggregated blocklist back in return, so your appliance
+gets smarter from day one using signal from every other protected site — no license key
+required for the free Community tier. Every dashboard, investigation view, and auto-ban
+decision is enriched with live ANIS reputation scoring. Prefer to keep intelligence in-house?
+Point ARGUS at your own self-hosted ANIS instance instead, or turn the integration off entirely.
 
 ### 🌐 Attack Origin Visualization
 A live global map of inbound attacks — real-time arcs from source to your infrastructure,
-severity-coded, with instant drill-down into any event's full detail.
+color-coded by severity, with a running feed of top attacking countries and IPs. Pause, rewind,
+and replay historical traffic, or click straight through to any single event's full detail.
 
 ### 🔎 Incident Investigation
 Pivot from any IP, log line, or dashboard event straight into that entity's complete history —
-affected hosts, triggered rules, geography, and live threat-intelligence reputation — without
+every affected host it touched, every rule it triggered, its geography and ASN, and its live
-losing your place.
+ANIS reputation score — all in one place, without losing your position in whatever you were
+looking at.
 
 ### 🤖 Bot & AI-Crawler Defense
-Blocks known-bad bots and AI scrapers automatically, with a search-engine allowlist so legitimate
+Automatically blocks known-bad bots and scrapers, with a maintained allowlist so legitimate
-crawlers are never affected. Escalating challenge modes (browser check, proof-of-work, visual
+search engines are never caught in the net. Purpose-built detection for AI crawlers (GPTBot,
-CAPTCHA) for suspicious traffic.
+ClaudeBot, and similar) lets you choose exactly which ones are welcome. Escalating challenge
+modes — silent browser verification, proof-of-work, visual CAPTCHA — apply exactly as much
+friction as suspicious traffic actually warrants, backed by a live risk-scoring engine so the
+decision is never a coin flip.
 
 ### 🧬 DNS Security Engine
-An embedded forwarding DNS resolver with real-time threat detection — DGA domains, DNS
+Passive DNS intelligence starts working the moment your first site is protected — no network
-tunneling, fast-flux infrastructure, cache-poisoning attempts — and automatic mitigation via
+reconfiguration required — scoring every domain your traffic touches for DGA patterns,
-sinkholing.
+fast-flux infrastructure, and other red flags, and cross-referencing that against real WAF
+activity for a much stronger signal than either check alone. An optional embedded resolver adds
+network-wide DNS tunneling detection, NXDOMAIN-flood protection, and automatic sinkholing for
+sites that want DNS-layer coverage too.
 
 ### 🌍 GeoIP & Cloud-Provider Access Control
-Allow or block traffic by country or hosting provider, with live visual feedback.
+Allow or block traffic by country or hosting provider, with live visual feedback as you tune
+the policy — see exactly what would have been blocked before you commit to it.
 
 ### 🔒 Automated SSL
 Let's Encrypt with automatic renewal, including wildcard certificates via DNS-01 challenge
-(Cloudflare, DuckDNS, Dynu, and more).
+across major DNS providers (Cloudflare, DuckDNS, Dynu, and more) — certificates that never
+expire on your watch.
 
 ### ⚡ Rate Limiting & Auto-Ban
 Configurable per-IP/per-URI rate limits, automatic banning on repeated WAF violations, and
-optional community threat-intelligence-driven blocking via ANIS (enabled by default, no
+community-intelligence-driven blocking via ANIS — layered defenses that reinforce each other
-license key required for the free Community tier).
+rather than working in isolation.
 
-### 👥 Full User Management
+### 👥 Enterprise User Management
-Role-based access, per-user session control, forced password resets, account lock/unlock, MFA,
+Role-based access control, per-user session management, forced password resets, account
-and a complete login history — everything a security team needs to administer access safely.
+lock/unlock as a reversible incident-response tool, mandatory MFA for administrators, and a
+complete audit trail of every login and admin action — everything a security team needs to
+administer access with confidence.
 
 ### 📊 Real-Time Operations Dashboard
-Live traffic, security events, and system health, updated continuously — no manual refresh.
+Live traffic, security events, and system health updated continuously — a true operations
+console, not a page you have to remember to refresh. Guided, role-based dashboard profiles (SOC
+Analyst, Security Administrator, Network Administrator, Executive Overview) put the right view
+in front of the right person automatically.
+
+### 🎯 Guided Security Policy Center
+Every protection module — WAF, DNS, GeoIP, Bot Protection, Rate Limiting, SSL/TLS, and more —
+comes with one-click policy tiers from Home to Maximum Protection, a plain-language impact
+preview before you apply anything, and an honest posture score that tells you exactly what's
+configured, what's missing, and why it matters. No security expertise required to deploy with
+confidence.
 
 ### 🔀 Load Balancing & Stream Proxying
-Multiple backend servers with health checks, plus TCP/UDP stream proxying with optional SNI
+Multiple backend servers with active health checks, plus TCP/UDP stream proxying with optional
