[edk2-devel] [PATCH 2/2] ReadMe.rst: delete statements about other accepted licenses

[Leif Lindholm]

In the past, the TianoCore Contribution Agreement provided equal to what
the (+patent) gives us, but also for all the alternative licenses listed
under "Code Contributions". When the contribution agreement was dropped,
no conversation was had about this aspect.

Until this issue is resolved, only code licensed under edk2+patent should
be accepted into the project.

This addresses, but does not resolve,
