Per http://www.personal.psu.edu/cab38/ColorBrewer/ColorBrewer_updates.html the colormaps are now licensed under Apache V2.0. This update has been made due to a possible incompatibility between Apache v1.1 and the GPL.

This change is consistent with the license in the colorbrewer (webapp) repository
https://github.com/axismaps/colorbrewer/blob/7d135fc4e19eda73f2eb1bf55fcdf4a04fe4881f/LICENCE.txt

Closes #26336
