Licensing: Add temporary notice #383

There has been a long-standing issue on #174.

There is a general consensus that some improvements should be made.
Many people take Codeberg's Documentation seriously, so it might be
best to warn people to take the contents of the article with a grain
of salt.

The primary motivation was an insinuation of an evaluation of
Codeberg's approach to licensing being mistaken for an official
recommendation by Codeberg itself. Despite the fact that the pull
request has to be reviewed, then respectively approved
(and iteratively improved at a later point), it might be best to
mention that there is room for improvement if the subject at hand
is particularly controversial.

If it is believed that this pull request should not be merged because of the fact that what it tries to do is idiosyncratic or otherwise problematic, feel free to close this without a detailed justification.

IMO, though changes and improvements could happen, the existing docs are well beyond some sort of draft quality. It's not like they are of the temporary quality that one would say "don't use this guide, it's incomplete". The existence of opinions and proposals about potential improvements doesn't warrant a notice in this case IMO.
