Add a licensing policy for TeachLink Backend

[RUKAYAT-CODER]

Background

The Governance/ folder does not yet include a Governance/policies/LICENSING.md document. This is a governance gap: contributors and maintainers lack a clear, versioned reference for this area of governance. Adding the document closes the gap and keeps the change self-contained within the Governance folder.

Implementation Plan

• Create Governance/policies/LICENSING.md and document the project license.
• Specify the inbound-equals-outbound rule.
• Define how license changes are decided.
• Add regression tests where applicable
• Document the change

Acceptance Criteria

• Governance requirement is implemented successfully
• Scope is limited to a maximum of two files
• No changes are made outside the Governance folder
• No regression in existing functionality
• Tests pass and code follows project standards
• Change is documented

I’d like to work on this issue because it addresses an important area of the project and presents a great opportunity to make a meaningful contribution. I’m particularly interested in delivering a solution that is reliable, maintainable, and aligned with the project’s existing architecture and development standards.

I have experience working across software development, including backend and frontend development, APIs, databases, testing, DevOps, and blockchain-based applications. I’m comfortable understanding existing codebases, identifying the root cause of issues, implementing clean and scalable solutions, and writing thorough tests to prevent regressions.

My approach would be to first understand the existing implementation and project conventions, then develop the solution in a focused and incremental way. I’ll ensure the changes are well-tested, documented where necessary, and do not introduce unnecessary complexity or break existing functionality. I’m also committed to clear communication, responding to review feedback, and delivering a polished contribution that provides real value to the project.
