What does this PR do?

We are about to propose Devfile as a CNCF sandbox project. Most of the CNCF projects are licensed under Apache-2.0 and that’s what the community is used to. Re-licensing to Apache-2.0 would make the process smoother and augment our chances to successfully transition the project to CNCF sandbox. Both EPL-2.0 and Apache-2.0 are open source licenses that are widely used in the industry and Apache-2.0 is considered more permissive than EPL-2.0.

⚠️ This PR is in draft mode. We are contacting existing contributors to get their approval and then we will merge it.

What issues does this PR fix or reference?

I believe i had given my approval before, but since i don't see my name in the list of ones who have approved, here it is: I approve. Regards, Kanika Rana

@ranakan19 I can see you checked in the list above. The only missing approval is @Nadianw36 (and @Nwaid but I think that's the same user) but I wasn't able to reach her. Can someone help?

We need to make sure license headers in files are updated as well: #630

One additional concern is that make-release.sh references that it's based on the chectl version, we should make sure this isn't a licensing issue.

@amisevsk thanks for #630

I got an approval from @Nadianw36, we are ready to merge now. We only need an approval on this PR.

Update the license according to the agreement to switch projects in the
devfile organization to Apache instead of EPL 2.0. This should have been
done long ago, but was forgotten.
