This PR removes the Repology badge from the README. At time of writing, the majority of the packages listed here are woefully out of date: <img width="299" alt="Screenshot 2025-05-17 at 8 44 16 AM" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c45afba3-72ac-488d-a067-1fb0e237c7c0" /> This isn't a good look for someone coming to the Zed repository for the first time. I've added a link to the Repology list in the "Linux" section of the docs for people who are interested in checking the packaging status in various repos. Release Notes: - N/A

### Licensing
|
|
|
|
License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.
|
|
|
|
We use [`cargo-about`](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/cargo-about) to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:
|
|
|
|
- Is it showing a `no license specified` error for a crate you've created? If so, add `publish = false` under `[package]` in your crate's Cargo.toml.
|
|
- Is the error `failed to satisfy license requirements` for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to the `accepted` array in `script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml`.
|
|
- Is `cargo-about` unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of `script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml`, as specified in the [cargo-about book](https://embarkstudios.github.io/cargo-about/cli/generate/config.html#crate-configuration).
