License documentation gap: no tag on Hub, enterprises can't adopt

Hi @ai4bharat team — big fan of the work; IndicCorpV2 is foundational for the whole Indic LLM ecosystem (2,800+ downloads).

A compliance gap worth flagging: the Hub repo declares no license tag and has no LICENSE file. I know the corpus website has its own terms page, but the Hub presence — where most teams actually consume the data — gives downstream users zero machine-readable signal.

In my scan of 4,893 Indic-language datasets (published here: https://huggingface.co/datasets/hardik90/indic-dataset-license-matrix), this repo is among the highest-download no-license repos, and enterprises tell me they exclude such corpora from training pipelines by default because they can't verify usage rights (EU AI Act Art. 53 documentation duties + procurement policies).

A one-line license: tag + a provenance note in the card (matching your corpus site terms) would materially increase commercial adoption of IndicCorpV2.

Thanks for considering — happy to assist with the card text.
