This pull request adds a LICENSE file to the repository based on the license declared in your repository metadata.

Background

Your repository declares the Apache-2.0 license in its HuggingFace metadata (license:apache-2.0), but does not currently include a LICENSE file in the repository. This creates legal ambiguity and makes it harder for users to understand the exact terms under which they can use your work.

What This PR Does

This PR adds a standard LICENSE file containing the full text of the Apache License 2.0, with:

• Copyright holder: sentence-transformers (repository owner)
• Copyright year: 2025 (based on first commit)

Why This Matters

Having an explicit LICENSE file in your repository:

• ✅ Provides clear legal terms for users
• ✅ Matches your declared license metadata
• ✅ Makes it easier for others to comply with your license
• ✅ Improves repository completeness and professionalism

Please Review

Important: Please verify that:

1. The copyright holder is correct (I've used the repository owner: sentence-transformers)
2. The copyright year is appropriate (I've used the first commit year: 2025)
3. The license matches your intent (based on your metadata: Apache-2.0)

If any of these need to be updated, please let me know and I'll gladly adjust the LICENSE file!
