This library is published to Maven Central so that clients (notably VZW) can build their own integrations against the Action Processor. The repo is public for distribution purposes only, not for open contribution, so the MIT licence is not the correct posture. - Replace LICENSE with an "all rights reserved / commercial agreement required" notice that explicitly covers artifacts published to Maven Central. - Update build.sbt POM metadata to reflect the proprietary licence. - Add a Licence and use section to the README pointing at the LICENSE.

Linear: INFRA-1344
Colin White is finalising a Disclosure notice for our public GitHub repos and has classified them into:
This library belongs in Cat 2: it is published to Maven Central so that clients (notably VZW, per Alekhya Deba — confirmed still in use as of last month) can build their own integrations against the Action Processor.
The current MIT licence is the wrong posture for that — MIT actively grants third parties the right to use, modify, and redistribute. We want use to be conditional on a commercial agreement.
Slack confirmation that the repo must stay public for Maven distribution: thread (Fernando Mora, Alekhya Deba).
Outstanding confirmation
The LICENSE points licensing enquiries at `legal@intenthq.com`. Will confirm with Colin that this is the right destination before this lands.
