Pull request overview
Adds legal/ToS framing to the project README so the tool’s MIT-licensed source code isn’t mistaken as granting rights over KARDS game content, and clarifies intended use and user responsibility.
Changes:
- Adds a new Disclaimer section describing unofficial status, trademark ownership, and ToS compliance expectations.
- Clarifies that the repo ships no card data/art/prebuilt DB and that the local catalog is built on the user’s machine.
- Expands the License section to distinguish code licensing (MIT) from KARDS content/trademark rights and points readers to the Disclaimer.

@copilot убери явное указание на нарушения ToS - ненужно лишний раз явно указывать на нарушения. сократи disclaimer |

Done in 8b5d80a. Removed the bullet list with explicit §6/§7 references, redistribution warnings, and the maintainer compliance note. The disclaimer now fits in three short paragraphs: unofficial status + trademark, personal use + ToS link, no shipped data. |
Summary
## Disclaimersection toREADME.mdclarifying thatkardscmis an unofficial fan tool, intended for personal non-commercial use, and that users are responsible for complying with the KARDS Terms of Use — in particular §6 and §7 on scraping and systematic data compilation.## Licensesection so the MIT license is not mistaken for granting rights over KARDS game content.Why
README.mdpreviously advertised catalog sync, exports, and API baseline drift tracking with no acknowledgement of 1939 Games' trademarks or the ToS restrictions. This adds the missing legal framing while keeping all functionality intact.Test plan
