Change licenses to tldraw (#2167)
This PR updates the licenses across tldraw to a bespoke tldraw license.

The idea here is leverage dual licensing for revenue from companies
using tldraw. The source code and its distributions are provided under a
non-commercial license (tldraw) while we offer to sell / give out an
alternative exclusive-use license for companies who wish to use the
product for commercial purposes.
