chore: restore Apache 2.0 license + add a NOTICE file (#95)

- Create a NOTICE file. It references the list of contributors that re-licensed their commits to Apache License, Version 2.0.
- So we can restore the Apache-2.0 license.
- Also update the README and the Pull Request template as there is no more warning about the license.
