Hi kingxxasavan,

First, thanks for taking an interest in this project and for creating a fork of it.
I’m the original author of the upstream repository, GPA95/SGPA (Study Buddy – an AI-powered study assistant). At the time you initially forked the project, the repository did not yet include a LICENSE file or contribution guidelines. About a month later, I added an MIT License (with an attribution requirement) along with explicit contributing guidelines to the upstream repo.

This pull request does two things:

  • Adds the current MIT LICENSE file from the upstream repository, preserving the original copyright:
    • Copyright (c) 2025 Ammaar Ahmad Khan
  • Adds a small attribution note in the README to acknowledge the original project:

My intention isn’t to block or criticize your work in any way, but simply to ensure that forks accurately reflect the licensing and attribution of the original project. Since Issues are disabled on this repository and there isn’t another listed contact method, I’m using this PR as a friendly way to reach out and get everything aligned.

If you’d prefer a different wording for the attribution line while still crediting the original project and linking back, I’m absolutely open to that.

Thank you for your time and understanding.
