licensing issues: we need a clean restart here - remove everything
Problem: argparse has been licensed under Apache License v2.0
While this license is a FOSS license, it has known compatibility issues
with the GNU GPL v2 - projects under GPL v2 can't use code under apache
license v2.0.
Projects which use "GPL v2 (or, at user's choice, any later version)" only
have one means using code under apache license v2.0: to choose the "or any
later" part and go GPL v3. Of course, this would cause issues with other
license....
As argparse was contributed to the Python v2.7 code base, it is available
under the Python License, which has no such compatibility issue.
Thus, a clean solution for the argparse package (for users who need argparse
for projects which have to support python older than 2.7) is to remove all
old apache licensed files and start from scratch using the python-licensed
code from the standard library.
