What

docs/terms.md stated the MIT Licence. This repo ships Apache-2.0
both LICENSE and the crate manifest say so. Corrected the document to match.

Why this is stale residue, not a licensing change

The fleet standardised on Apache-2.0 for its explicit patent grant. The LICENSE
file and Cargo.toml were migrated; this document was not. Two independent
sources already agreed against the third — nothing about what the software is
licensed under changes here, only what the document claims.

Three-way verification (after this change)

terms.md   : `lzo` is provided under the Apache License 2.0 (see `LICENSE`), "as is", without
LICENSE    : Apache License / Version 2.0, January 2004
Cargo.toml : Cargo.toml: license = "Apache-2.0"

The following sentence ("governed solely by that licence") needed no change: correcting the name is what makes it point at a licence the repo ships.

Collision risk

The diff touches docs/terms.md only, so it should not collide with other open
PRs on this repo. docs/privacy.md is deliberately untouched.

docs/terms.md named the MIT Licence while LICENSE and Cargo.toml both
declare Apache-2.0. The fleet standardised on Apache-2.0 for its explicit
patent grant; the LICENSE file and the crate manifest were migrated and
this document was not.

The following sentence ("governed solely by that licence") needed no change:
correcting the name is what makes it point at a licence the repo ships.
