2019-04-09edk2: Change License.txt from 2-Clause BSD to BSD+PatentMichael D Kinney1-26/+48
Change License.txt in the root of the edk2 repository from the 2-Clause BSD License to the BSD+Patent License. The text difference between these licenses in the patch is larger than expected due to different choices for the position of the line breaks. The text from the BSD 2-Clause license and its disclaimer are the same. New clauses from the BSD+Patent license have been added. https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1373 This change is based on the following emails: https://lists.01.org/pipermail/edk2-devel/2019-February/036260.html https://lists.01.org/pipermail/edk2-devel/2018-October/030385.html RFCs with detailed process for the license change: V3: https://lists.01.org/pipermail/edk2-devel/2019-March/038116.html V2: https://lists.01.org/pipermail/edk2-devel/2019-March/037669.html V1: https://lists.01.org/pipermail/edk2-devel/2019-March/037500.html Contributed-under: TianoCore Contribution Agreement 1.1 Signed-off-by: Michael D Kinney <michael.d.kinney@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Laszlo Ersek <lersek@redhat.com>
