    easier: eclipse/oniro-core/oniro#824
    
    Relicense all files in this repository to MIT to align with Oniro core.
    
    Due to how these Yocto/OE layers interact with upstream layers (including oe-core), 
    having parts of our layers licensed under Apache when most (if not all) of our 
    upstream dependencies (and generally the entire ecosystem) are MIT, would pose 
    a couple of issues:
            
    - Using our layers would introduce a new license to a downstream consumer that 
        needs to be assessed.
    - Reusing parts of our code would pose an issue of relicensing on Oniro or the 
        downstream side.
     - Upstreaming Apache code would need relicensing on the Oniro side before 
        upstream could accept contributions (unless upstream is up for a license addition 
        which in m...
