LIC: Update the license we bundle the colorbrewer colormap data with
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Per http://www.personal.psu.edu/cab38/ColorBrewer/ColorBrewer_updates.html the
colormaps are now licensed under Apache V2.0.  This update has been made due to
a possible incompatibility between Apache v1.1 and the GPL.

This change is consistent with the license in the colorbrewer (webapp)
repository
https://github.com/axismaps/colorbrewer/blob/7d135fc4e19eda73f2eb1bf55fcdf4a04fe4881f/LICENCE.txt
