Problem

matplotlib currently ships with the ColorBrewer Color Schemes, which are subject to the Apache-1.1 license (https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/blob/main/LICENSE/LICENSE_COLORBREWER). The FSF considers this license incompatible with the (L)GPL: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html.en#apache1.1

It seems like I would have to adapt multiple places inside the code to solve this. Is there any indication from the matplotlib side on how to handle this case?
