Description of the PR
Update the Apache 2.0 LICENSE
file to a more standard format to support GitHub license display and GitHub license search. This format is more standard for GitHub and Apache Foundation. The file used here is the exact file GitHub provides for a new Apache 2.0 repo with the exception of updates for copyright holders.

GitHub license search:
