…ion (#1139) Replace Polyform Noncommercial 1.0.0 with the verbatim Apache License 2.0 (copyright 2025-2026 Ability AI) and update every license reference: - LICENSE: verbatim Apache 2.0 text, appendix copyright line filled in - NOTICE: added per Apache 2.0 convention - README.md: badge -> Apache 2.0, tagline reframed from source-available to open source, License section rewritten (commercial-licensing paragraph reframed around enterprise modules) - CONTRIBUTING.md: inbound-contribution terms now Apache 2.0 Section 5 - AGENTS.md, docs/onboarding/00-welcome.md: license mentions updated - src/mcp-server/package.json: license MIT -> Apache-2.0 - src/cli/pyproject.toml + src/cli/README.md: license MIT -> Apache-2.0 (same inconsistency class as the MCP server, found during audit) grep -ri "polyform|noncommercial" returns no stale references.
