This change copies
./api/LICENSE
to each sub-module./api/auth/*
Fixes #27775
Description
Go module tooling mandates that each sub-module contains its own LICENSE file. If absent, it defaults to the LICENSE file in the root of the git repository. This resulted in the
api/auth/*
modules erroneously inheriting the BUSL license instead of the correct MPL license, as indicated by the SPDX info in the actual API code.See https://go.dev/ref/mod#vcs-license
Adding the LICENSE files to each module ensures that module documentation is displayed correctly on pkg.go.dev and resolves issues with various tools, such as go-licenses, showing incorrect license information for the sub-modules.
