The README's MIT badge links to a LICENSE file that does not exist #321

Description

@LeadcodeDev

The README carries an MIT badge pointing at LICENSE at the repository root. No such file exists. The only licence statement anywhere is the SPDX string license = "MIT" in the crate manifests.

For a set of crates published to crates.io that is a real gap, not a cosmetic one: the manifest field tells a tool which licence applies, while the file is what tells a human the terms and who holds the copyright. Distribution channels and corporate review processes look for the file.

Adding it needs one answer this repository does not contain: the copyright holder's name. The repository field points at the LeadcodeDev organisation, but no person or entity is declared anywhere in the tree, and guessing one would put a wrong name on a licence.
