Change license back to Apache v2 again (#2208)

Browse Source 
I changed the license from AGPL v3 to Apache v2 in January. See pull request #2020

Somehow, the license got changed back to AGPL without us noticing. It was noticed by @dscook who asked us about it on Gitter, see https://gitter.im/bigchaindb/bigchaindb?at=5ad0cfc66d7e07082bef276b 

This pull request changes the license back to Apache v2, which is what it should have been ever since January.

1. You can get it under a commercial license for a fee. We can negotiate the terms of that license. It's not like we have some standard take-it-or-leave it commercial license. If you want to modify it and keep your modifications private, then that's certainly possible. Just ask.

If you don't like the AGPL license, then contact us to get a different license.
