[edk2-devel] contribution of code licensed other than bsd+patent

[Leif Lindholm]

Hi stewards, and other interested people.

Readme.md lists a few licenses acceptable but not preferred (this text
used to live in Contributions.txt before the bsd+patent relicensing
effort). However, it does not explicitly state anything about the gap
that was left by the dropping of the TianoCore contribution agreement:
the explicit patent grant given by bsd+patent and TianoCore
contribution agreement.

As we have what I think is the first bit of code about to go in with a
non-bsd+patent license (the new ArmSoftFloat library), is this
something we need to worry about?

If nothing else, I think we should form an official opinion and add it
to Readme.md.

Best Regards,

Leif
