    While Apache 2.0 license is the recommended option when choosing an open
    source permissive (i.e. non-copyleft) license, such license is
    incompatible with some other open source licenses (namely, GPL-2.0) so
    it is not the best suited choice for patch files, since patch files are
    naturally intended to modify third party code, which at times may be
    subject to incompatible licenses.
    
    Instead of checking license compatibility on a case by case basis (which
    not only is time consuming, but it also a hardly maintainable/scalable
    process and, most important, error-prone), a more practical approach
    would be to adopt an open source license with the broadest compatibility
    possible, namely, the MIT license.
