Refine site copy, terms, and asset metadata
Update site-wide titles and meta descriptions to emphasize public domain / open-source framing; adjust OpenGraph and Twitter tags accordingly. Add an "Open Source" link to the footer and set page-specific title/description on the home page. Revise Terms: note API distribution, link to the GitHub repo, add new Eligibility and Privacy sections (collection, non‑collection, cookies), add a Changes section, and update the "Last updated" date. Improve specimen asset page metadata by including scientific name in titles/OG, rewording meta descriptions, add uploaded date to the metadata block, change "Attribution" label to "Credit", and tweak spacing.
