Research direction
Start in the repository README and verify the license badge target against the default branch and repository root. Confirm the intended license source with a maintainer, then update the badge so it resolves to the applicable license information and verify the link no longer returns a 404.

Description
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
- Open the repository README.
- Select the license badge.
- Observe that GitHub opens
main/LICENSE.mdand 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.
