Subject: [PATCH] 1.3.1: relicense to MIT (clean-room CSS + drop copyleft-lib
references)
Relicensed from AGPL-3.0 to MIT, effective 1.3.1 (<=1.3.0 remain AGPL). The CSS
content cipher and Stevenson title-key attack are attributed to their published
cryptanalysis (not libdvdcss); all libaacs/libbluray/libdvdread/libdvdnav name
references were dropped from comments while keeping the standard format/spec
descriptions. Also bumps to 1.3.1.

# Changelog
+## [1.3.1] — 2026-07-10
+
+### Licensing
+
+- **Relicensed to the MIT License, from 1.3.1 onwards** (releases up to and
+ including 1.3.0 remain under AGPL-3.0). All code is an independent Rust
+ implementation of the public/standard disc formats and cryptographic
+ algorithms; comments that cross-referenced GPL/LGPL C projects (libdvdcss,
+ libaacs, libbluray, libdvdread, libdvdnav) were dropped, and the CSS content
+ cipher and the Stevenson title-key attack are attributed to their published
+ cryptanalysis rather than any particular software.
+
+### Added
+
+- **Authoritative HD-DVD title composition** from the Advanced-Content playlist
+ (`ADV_OBJ/VPLST000.XPL`): each title's clips, real duration, display name, and
+ chapters come from the disc's own playlist instead of a clip-name heuristic. A
+ layer-break split (`FEATURE_1`+`FEATURE_2`, `feature`/`feature_Divide`) composes
+ into ONE title with the two parts as clips and their title-time offsets. Falls
+ back to the clip-name heuristic when no playlist is present.

-//! search for the byte shifted in) to reach the initial state, then undo
-//! `i_t3 = i_t3*2 + 8 - (i_t3 & 7)` to recover key[2..5].
