Description

### **Title:** [Docs]: License discrepancy between README.md and LICENSE.md

**Description:**
There is conflicting licensing information between the project's README and the official LICENSE file. The `README.md` states that the project is governed by a "Claude Commercial" license, while the actual `LICENSE.md` file contains the standard text for the MIT License.

**Steps to Reproduce:**
1. Navigate to the `README.md` file in the root directory.
2. Read the licensing section, which directs users to check `License.md` for "Claude Commercial" terms.
3. Open the `LICENSE.md` file.
4. Observe that the text actually contains the open-source MIT License.

**Expected Behavior:**
The licensing information should be consistent across all repository documentation to ensure legal clarity for users and downstream contributors.

**Actual Behavior:**
* `README.md` indicates a commercial/proprietary license.
* `LICENSE.md` indicates an open-source (MIT) license.

**Environment / Affected Version:**
* **Version:** v0.2.82
* **Files Affected:** `README.md`, `LICENSE.md`

**Additional Context:**
Resolving this ambiguity is critical for compliance and usage rights. Could the maintainers please clarify the intended license and update the respective files to match?
