docs(cli): add MIT LICENSE matching README declaration (#349)

f3c18d4c6b192b47196916ca99161345a641687d · 2026-04-27 11:45:52 -0700 · Trevin Chow

README has declared the project MIT for some time but no LICENSE file
existed at the repo root. Adds the file (Matt Van Horn and Trevin Chow,
2026) so the license is legally backed, not just claimed.

Also drops a stray Apache-2.0 header from internal/cli/verify_skill.go
that was copy-pasted from a printed-CLI template; per the convention
documented at internal/patch/dropins.go:84-86, those headers belong on
emitted printed-CLI files, not on machine code.

Printed CLIs are unaffected — generator templates still emit Apache-2.0,
and NOTICE.tmpl's "CLI Printing Press is licensed separately under the
MIT License" claim is now backed by the new root LICENSE.
