chore(license): Change license from GPL-3 to MIT (#4339)

* Change license from GPL-3 to MIT

Updated the project license from GPL-3 to MIT in DESCRIPTION, LICENSE, LICENSE.md, README.md, and package.json. Added LICENSE.md with the MIT license text and updated .Rbuildignore to exclude LICENSE.md from builds.

* `npm run build` (GitHub Actions)

* Update LICENSE and add LICENSE.note

Replaced the LICENSE file content with a summary including year and copyright holder. Moved detailed third-party license information to a new LICENSE.note file.

* Remove R check log file

Deleted the ..Rcheck/00check.log file, likely to clean up generated or temporary files from the repository.

     applications with R. Automatic "reactive" binding between inputs and
     outputs and extensive prebuilt widgets make it possible to build
