Chore: Add MIT LICENSE file

[Copilot]

Project lacked a LICENSE file, defaulting to "all rights reserved" and creating legal ambiguity for contributors. The pom.xml had an empty <licenses> tag.

Changes

• Added LICENSE file at repository root with full MIT license text
• Updated pom.xml <licenses> section with license name and URL

<licenses>
    <license>
        <name>MIT License</name>
        <url>https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT</url>
    </license>
</licenses>

<issue_title>Chore: Add an official LICENSE file</issue_title>
<issue_description>### Description
The project is currently "all rights reserved" by default because it lacks a LICENSE file. This creates legal ambiguity for potential contributors. To be a proper open-source project, it needs an explicit license.

The pom.xml has a <licenses> tag, but it's empty.

Acceptance Criteria

1. Choose an appropriate open-source license (e.g., MIT, Apache 2.0).
2. Create a LICENSE file at the root of the repository.
3. Copy the full text of the chosen license into this file.
4. Update the <licenses> section in pom.xml to reflect the chosen license (e.g., name and URL).</issue_description>
