Change License to Apache 2.0 about csaf_distribution HOT 4 CLOSED

I'm ok with it. Switching from the MIT license to the Apache 2.0 license can be a good decision if you are concerned about patent claims. The Apache 2.0 license offers an explicit grant of patent rights from contributors to users, which the MIT license does not provide. This patent grant means that contributors cannot bring patent lawsuits against users of the software for using their contributed technology, providing more legal protection regarding patents. Additionally, the Apache 2.0 license includes provisions for handling contributions and trademarks more explicitly than the MIT license, which might be beneficial depending on the nature of your project and its contributors. However, it's also slightly more complex and restrictive than the MIT license, particularly around the requirements to provide notices and attributions. This could potentially increase the burden on downstream users who wish to redistribute the software. However, that should not be a showstopper.

The switch was done with #535.

While doing so, we've found #534
And related #527 is still open.

We from Intevation are also fine with the change!

As everyone has agreed, we will now go ahead and implement it.
