Advisory text shown on the errata site is re-published from Red Hat advisories licensed under CC BY 4.0, which requires attribution, a link to the source and the license, and an indication that changes were made. The site showed none of these. Add a per-advisory attribution line on the advisory page and a site-wide footer notice, and extend the V2Advisory type with the source object the API now returns.

Problem
The errata site (errata.rockylinux.org) re-publishes Red Hat advisory text
(synopsis, description, topic), which Red Hat licenses under
CC BY 4.0. That license requires
crediting the source, linking to the original advisory and to the license, and
indicating that changes were made. The site currently shows none of these.
Approach
ShowErrata.tsx),under the synopsis: links to the source Red Hat advisory and the CC BY 4.0
license, noting that the content was modified.
Root.tsx) carrying the same attribution.V2Advisorytype with thesourceobject the API now returns.Testing
tsc --noEmitand a fullvite buildpass.sourceobject and the page renders the attribution from it.Notes
sourcefield to the v2 advisory API. The attribution renders only when that field is
present and degrades gracefully otherwise.
