Non-Permissive License! #3121

Description

@JAntHarrison

LGPL is a fantastic license for open-source software applications, but when it comes to embedded development with statically linked libraries, it is quite a restrictive one.

It requires disclosing entire source code, or having clear separation between the source code and LGPL library components with explicit documentation to support on the fly changes, which is a support nightmare for commercial hobbyists and startups.

Please consider replacing the license with Apache 2.0, the same license ESP-IDF ships with, to be more inclusive to the community and all of the use cases.
