The repository is public with no LICENSE file, so `gh api repos/voiceflow/cli --jq .license` returns null and every install is legally ambiguous. Adds the verbatim Apache-2.0 text from apache.org, with the appendix placeholders filled in as "Copyright 2026 Voiceflow, Inc." -- the entity string already used by voiceflow/webchat. .goreleaser.yaml already globs `LICENSE*` into every release archive, so the file also starts shipping with the binaries as originally intended. Also corrects the README badge, which advertised MIT. That badge sits above the first `<!-- Start ... -->` marker, outside Speakeasy-managed content, so the edit survives regeneration. Note for reviewers: voiceflow/webchat, a public repo in this org, carries a proprietary license. Apache-2.0 here is a deliberate choice for the CLI rather than an inherited default, and is worth confirming with whoever owns licensing policy before merge.

Pull request overview
Adds an explicit open-source license to the repository and aligns the README’s license badge with that choice to reduce legal ambiguity and improve discoverability (e.g., GitHub license detection).
Changes:
- Add an Apache License 2.0
LICENSEfile (including the filled-in appendix notice). - Update the README license badge from MIT to Apache-2.0 and adjust the target link accordingly.

- Restore the '# vf' H1: retitling it broke the generated table of contents' first anchor (#vf), which the TOC block still points at. The descriptive positioning moves to the line below, where it reads better anyway. - Match PR #4's license-badge href exactly (opensource.org/license/..., the canonical 200; /licenses/ 301-redirects) so the two PRs cannot disagree about the final text. - Drop '(recommended)' from the npm install heading — it is not a superlative worth making while the package is not yet published; the section is honest about what it does either way.

changed the title
Copilot review: license scanners and GitHub's own license detection expect the file to open with the license title. The upstream Apache-2.0 text starts at 'Apache License', not a blank line.
