README license badge points to a missing file on an invalid branch #1921

Description

@Mabolla

Description

The license badge in the repository README links to:

https://github.com/base/docs/blob/main/LICENSE.md

That URL currently returns a 404 with “Ref is invalid.” The repository's default branch is master, and there does not appear to be a LICENSE.md file at the repository root.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open the repository README.
  2. Select the license badge.
  3. Observe that GitHub opens main/LICENSE.md and returns a 404.

Expected behavior

The license badge should resolve to the repository's applicable license information.

Could a maintainer confirm where the license file should live and which existing license the badge should reference? I am happy to prepare a follow-up fix once the intended source is confirmed.
