Now I'm implementing functions using the Bitly client, a library writen

The question is if this license should be changed to pass basic review.
The Apache license is not compatible with GPL2. It's one-way compatible
with GPL3, but as NVDA isn't licensed under GPL3 that's neither here nor
there.
How you proceed is up to you, but you can't just change a project's
license agreement. I don't imagine the bit.ly API is particularly
complicated, so maybe it would just be easier to create your own small
client. But remember that unfortunately, the Requests library is also
Apache-licensed so you can't use that either.
