Closes #6, per the decision to go with MIT.

Root LICENSE (MIT, © 2026 QuantEcon), matching action-style-guide. A new Licence section in the README scopes it: this repository's own work — the pipeline in tools/, the runbook and skills, and the derived data in lectures/data/ — is MIT; the lecture material the per-lecture reports quote is excerpted from the five QuantEcon lecture repositories to locate a finding and stays under whatever terms those repositories adopt, which this repository claims nothing over. The layout tree lists the file.

Not touched: contributions/issues/04-corpus-offer.md mirrors a live action-style-guide issue (#21 there); if the offer should now name MIT for the derived data, that is a gh issue edit on the live issue plus a re-sync here, per UPDATE.md, and is left as a named follow-up rather than done silently.

…oes not cover

tools/, the runbook and skills, and the derived data in lectures/data/ are
MIT, matching action-style-guide. The lecture prose the per-lecture reports
quote — headings, captions, sentences, identifiers with line numbers — is
excerpted from the QuantEcon lecture repositories to locate a finding and
stays under whatever terms those repositories adopt; the README says so
beside the licence, and this repository claims nothing over it.

Closes #6
