Description

I see the license for the repo is "Apache 2.0", but for the official website is using "MIT". Also license declarations are inconsistent across project metadata and docs. Cargo says MIT, LICENSE file is Apache-2.0 text, README says MIT.

Which one is the correct one?

Research direction
The issue reports inconsistent license declarations: the LICENSE file contains Apache 2.0 text, while Cargo.toml and README state MIT, and the official website uses MIT. The maintainer (@pszymkowiak) is mentioned and needs to respond to clarify which license is correct. Once decided, the fix involves updating the LICENSE file and synchronizing metadata across Cargo.toml, README, and potentially the website repository.
