License clarification: which license governs CodeEditLanguages? #94

Description

@awizemann

Hi, and thanks for maintaining CodeEditLanguages — bundling the tree-sitter grammars into a single precompiled xcframework is a genuinely clean way to consume tree-sitter on macOS.

I'd like to depend on this package in a commercial macOS app and want to attribute it correctly, but I can't determine the license for this specific package: there's no LICENSE file in the repo root, and GitHub's license API returns nothing for it. The main CodeEdit app is MIT, but CodeEditLanguages doesn't appear to carry its own license file.

Could you help clarify:

  1. What license governs CodeEditLanguages itself? Is it intended to be MIT, consistent with the rest of the CodeEdit org? If so, would you consider adding a LICENSE file to the repo root so it's unambiguous and detectable by tooling (GitHub, SPM, license scanners)?

  2. Attribution for the bundled grammars — each upstream tree-sitter grammar carries its own license (MIT/Apache-2.0/etc.). Is there an aggregate NOTICE/attribution you'd recommend bundling, or should consumers attribute each grammar from its upstream repo?

Happy to open a PR adding a LICENSE file (and a grammar NOTICE, if useful) if that would save you time. Thanks again!
