Add Apache 2.0 license - #135

Conversation
Adds the canonical Apache License 2.0 text at the repo root and inside the published npm package directory, a NOTICE file with the LikeMinds copyright attribution, and switches the feed-rn-core package.json license field from ISC to Apache-2.0. The LICENSE files are byte-identical to the text published at https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt so that GitHub and automated license scanners detect them correctly. The three sample apps in this repo are marked private and are not published to npm, so their package.json files are left unchanged; they are covered by the root LICENSE.

LICENSENOTICElikeminds-feed-reactnative-integration/LICENSElikeminds-feed-reactnative-integration/package.json"license"changed fromISCtoApache-2.0Why two LICENSE files
The root
LICENSEis what GitHub reads for the repository license badge. But npm packs only thefiles inside
likeminds-feed-reactnative-integration/, so the root file would not reach npmconsumers. Both are needed and both are byte-identical. Standard practice for a monorepo that
publishes a subdirectory.
The three sample apps are intentionally untouched
qna-feed,social-feed, andsocial-feed-expoare all marked"private": trueand declare nolicense field. They are not published to npm and are covered by the root
LICENSE. Theirpackage.jsonfiles are unchanged.The package.json change matters as much as the LICENSE file
npm consumers' license scanners read the registry metadata, not this repo. It takes effect on the
next published version only;
1.17.1and earlier keepISCon npm permanently.This is a relicense from ISC to Apache 2.0. Every contributor to this repo appears to be
LikeMinds staff, so this should be an internal decision, but please confirm before merging.
The branch is
release/v1.17.2because that is the only naming pattern this repo's CI acceptsbesides
hotfix/LM-<ticket>_.... The latest tag isv1.17.1andfeed-rn-coreis at1.17.1,so
v1.17.2is the next patch.This PR does not bump the
package.jsonversion. If your convention is that arelease/vX.Y.Zbranch also carries the version bump, add that before merging — notecreate-tag-and-release.ymlcomparespackage.jsonagainst the last tag when manuallydispatched. Worth noting the license metadata only reaches npm on the next publish anyway, so
pairing this with a 1.17.2 release is a sensible way to ship it.
Notes for the reviewer
The LICENSE files are byte-identical to https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt
(SHA-256
cfc7749b96f63bd31c3c42b5c471bf756814053e847c10f3eb003417bc523d30). Please do notreformat them or fill in the
Copyright [yyyy] [name of copyright owner]placeholder in theAppendix — that placeholder is part of the Appendix's instructions, not this repo's copyright
notice. Editing the text makes scanners report "Other" instead of "Apache-2.0". The repo's
copyright notice lives in
NOTICE.Context
Both dependencies are private and must be opened for this SDK to be usable as open source. That
is a separate decision.
Flagged, not changed
This repo has no root
README.mdand no README in the published package directory, so there isno
## Licensesection to add. Not created here to avoid inventing project documentation.
