Add mit license

[Aditya30ag]

The project previously did not include a license file. Without a license, the code defaults to "all rights reserved," which can discourage contributions and create legal uncertainty.

As this is a Google Summer of Code (GSoC) project, having a clear and permissive open-source license is important for:

• Legal clarity
• Community contributions
• Open-source compliance

Changes Made

• Added a LICENSE file containing the full text of the MIT License

License Choice

The MIT License was chosen because it is:

• Simple and permissive
• Widely adopted in open-source projects
• Commonly used in GSoC organizations

Checklist

• Added MIT License file
• No code changes introduced
• Improves project clarity and compliance

Please let me know if a different license is preferred or if additional updates (e.g., README mention) are required.
