Remove Coldcard open source claim

Browse Source 
Source: https://github.com/Coldcard/firmware/blob/master/COPYING-CC

It's a "Commons Clause" License Condition v1.0 which is not open source,
as stated on their website: https://commonsclause.com/.

They claimed for a long time that Coldcard was open source but they
finally changed their website to now say it's "Verifiable Source Code".

**[Wasabi Wallet](https://www.wasabiwallet.io/)** (BitCoin) | An open source, native desktop wallet for Windows, Linux and MacOS. Wasabi implements trustless CoinJoins over the Tor network. Neither an observer nor the participants can determine which output belongs to which input. This makes it difficult for outside parties to trace where a particular coin originated from and where it was sent to, which greatly improves privacy. Since it's trustless, the CoinJoin coordinator cannot breach the privacy of the participants. Wasabi is compatible with cold storage, and hardware wallets, including OpenCard and Trezor. **[Wasabi Wallet](https://www.wasabiwallet.io/)** (BitCoin) | An open source, native desktop wallet for Windows, Linux and MacOS.

**[Electrum](https://electrum.org/)** (BitCoin) | Long-standing Python-based BitCoin wallet with good security features. Private keys are encrypted and do not touch the internet and balance is checked with a watch-only wallet. Compatible with other wallets, so there is no tie-in, and funds can be recovered with your secret seed. It supports proof-checking to verify transactions using SPV, multi-sig and add-ons for compatibility with hardware wallets. A decentralized server indexes ledger transactions, meaning it's fast and doesn't require much disk space. The potential security issue here would not be with the wallet, but rather your PC - you must ensure your computer is secure and your wallet has a long, strong passphrase to encrypt it with. **[Electrum](https://electrum.org/)** (BitCoin) | Long-standing Python-based BitCoin wallet with good security features.
