Which license types can be used for HBase?
In which cases do we need to modify our LICENSE/NOTICE file?

There is a nice apache license docs. [ASF Legal Resolved
|https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html]. Maybe we should add it in our
docs? Or take excerpt from it.

> While reviewing HBASE-18674 ("upgrade hbase to commons-lang 3"), I realized
> that my questions are the same as I'd give for any dependency change. We
> should try to update our docs to proactively push folks on checking whenever
> a dependency changes (paraphrased):
> {quote}
> # What's the license of the direct dependency overall?
> # Does it contain parts that are under a different license (esp if the
> overall is ALv2)?
> # If it is ALv2 does it contain a NOTICE file? If so, do we need to update
> our NOTICE file based on it?
> # Does it change the set of transitive dependencies? If so, apply the same
> questions above to that set of changes.
