zeekayandHanzo Dev 22731aba99 spec: cite Ringtail by its title, and state Corona's licence
references.bib gave ePrint 2024/1113 the title "Corona: Practical Two-Round
Threshold Signatures from Learning with Errors". The paper is "Ringtail:
Practical Two-Round Threshold Signatures from Learning with Errors", by the
six authors the entry already named correctly. A title is the authors' words.
The file's own header asks for exactly this — "verified against
https://eprint.iacr.org... Do not paraphrase or guess".

Ringtail is their scheme. Corona is Lux's implementation over Ring-LWE;
Pulsar retargets the same two-round structure to Module-LWE for FIPS 204.
The prose and the citation key now say so, and this spec is the NIST MPTC
submission, so it is the last place to get it wrong.

patent-notes.tex stated "Corona's open-source repo is Apache-2.0 with no
asserted patent claims". Corona is under the Lux Ecosystem License v1.2,
which reserves commercial use — no Apache grant and no Apache §3 patent
grant. The surrounding paragraph had been flattened by a rename into
"Pulsar ... is derivative of Pulsar" and "Pulsar (and therefore Pulsar) is a
fork"; it now names Corona and Ringtail where each is meant.

Dropped the residual Pulsar-M spelling, including the naming rule that
forbade writing "Pulsar" and required writing "Pulsar".
