That would help out with an already whitelisted Apache 2.0 License "AL 2.0" also making a change in the README. |

Following [PR rabbitmq#72](rabbitmq#772) shortened the Apache License, Version 2.0 to "AL": The Apache License, 2.0 should be abbreviated as AL instead of ASL. (https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0) Only the version 1.1 was known as Apache Software License 1.1, however, AL 2.0 can also be used for non-software. To avoid any confusion (e.g. in downstream licence checks), the abbreviation should be kept consistent.
