The Android Support Library package is a set of code libraries that provide backward-compatible versions of Android framework APIs as well as features that are only available through the library APIs. Each Support Library is backward-compatible to a specific Android API level.
Most versions of Android are proprietary. The core components are taken from the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), which is free and open-source software (FOSS) primarily licensed under the Apache License.
The Design Support library adds support for various material design components and patterns for app developers to build upon, such as navigation drawers, floating action buttons (FAB), snackbars, and tabs. The Gradle build script dependency identifier for this library is as follows: com. android.

And, I think apache license allows derivative works to be built and sold. Still, you should:
You can place this in Licence.txt
or Readme.txt
at the root of your project.
Look into your NOTICE.txt file in your android/support folder. Quote: "The Android Open Source Project. Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0, [...], http://www.apache.org/licenses/".
Look at this file (Local Maven repository for Support Libraries is subset of this path):
