chore: relicense under a single MIT license - #36
Conversation
The repo was dual-licensed MIT OR Apache-2.0 (two files), but GitHub's auto-detector picks one file and was displaying the project as "Apache License 2.0" only — hiding the MIT option and misrepresenting the license in the sidebar. Standardize on MIT (permissive, OSI-approved) so GitHub shows a clean "MIT License" badge and the license is unambiguous: - Rename LICENSE-MIT -> LICENSE; remove LICENSE-APACHE - Cargo.toml workspace license = "MIT" (all crates inherit) - Homebrew formula: license "MIT" - README + CONTRIBUTING: single MIT, inbound = outbound - release.yml: ship LICENSE (not LICENSE-MIT/LICENSE-APACHE) Also gitignore stray local artifacts (.playwright-mcp/, settings-keys-twin.png).

LICENSE-APACHEand introducing a single rootLICENSE(MIT), and updates docs to link to it. - Updates Rust workspace and Homebrew formula metadata to
