licence term

The TERM of the legal grant a digital delivery confers — perpetual, a subscription licence, or a trial licence. A qualifier of `delivery_method` (cardinality one per method): one delivery has one term. Split from the orthogonal `license_scope` (how many devices/seats) so a real product can state BOTH — MS Office 2021 is perpetual + single-device, Adobe Creative Cloud is subscription-licence + multi-device. DISTINCT from subscription billing: `recurring_price` (subscription) is the billing CADENCE (how/when you pay); license_term is WHAT term you are granted — a perpetual licence may be paid in instalments, a subscription-licence is billed by recurring_price. A governed token, growing (L13).
