[vpp-dev] Scapy license in VPP

I think e-mail reply would be long,
and I will need to address comments anyway,
so I respond via a Gerrit change [1].

Why do you say that vpp_papi need to be dual licensed?

First draft created [0] for the change that will switch
licenses for Python files used together with Scapy.
For some files, I was not sure whether they are used together with Scapy.
One big detail is that vpp_papi needs to have dual license,
as test framework integrates with it (and with scapy).
If I understand the licensing logic correctly,
CSIT tests can still choose to use vpp_papi under Apache license option.
But we may need to discuss that with lawyers.
Ray, you may need to upgrade your contributor-finding shell pipeline
to cover all files I added the new license into.
