Updates README licensing text to accurately reflect wolfSSL’s GPL “or later” licensing option.
Changes:
- Clarifies the bullet list reference from “GPLv2” to “GPLv2 or later”.
- Simplifies the Licensing section wording while keeping the “or later” qualifier.
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.

Summary
README.md references "GPLv2" without the "or later" qualifier, misrepresenting wolfSSL's actual license (GPL-2.0-or-later). Updated to use SPDX identifiers for clarity.
No code changes -- README only.
