Pull request overview
Updates NuGet package metadata so the published package points to the repository’s actual (non-SPDX) license text instead of incorrectly claiming an MIT SPDX expression.
Changes:
- Replace
PackageLicenseExpressionwithPackageLicenseFilein the project’s NuGet metadata. - Include the repository root
LICENSEfile in the packed NuGet contents (alongside the already-packedREADME.md).
