feat: implement dual licensing structure and update license documentation

- Introduced a dual licensing model for the project, allowing users to choose between the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 (AGPL-3.0) and a Commercial License.
- Added detailed licensing information in the LICENSE and README files, clarifying the terms and conditions for both licenses.
- Created a new LICENSE-AGPL-3.0 file to include the full text of the AGPL-3.0 license.
- Established a LICENSE-COMMERCIAL file outlining the terms for commercial use and the process for obtaining a Business License.
- Updated the README to reflect the new licensing structure and emphasize the need for a Business License for commercial use.
