Fixes #194

Summary

This PR fixes the missing license information issue by renaming apache-2.0.LICENSE to LICENSE so GitHub can properly recognize and display the Apache 2.0 license.

Changes

  • Renamed apache-2.0.LICENSELICENSE

Why This Fix Works

GitHub only recognizes standard license filenames like LICENSE, LICENSE.md, etc. The previous filename apache-2.0.LICENSE was not recognized, causing:

  • Missing license info in repository 'About' section
  • license: null in GitHub API responses

Verification

After merging, GitHub will automatically:

  • Display "Apache-2.0" in the repository 'About' section
  • Include license details in API responses

Renamed apache-2.0.LICENSE to LICENSE so GitHub can properly recognize
and display the Apache 2.0 license in the repository 'About' section
and API responses.

Fixes aboutcode-org#194
