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

[Liming Gao]

Leif:
  I review Readme.md. I think we can add the additional license for SoftFloat-3e like other third party code. The change is as below. Is it OK?

--- a/Readme.md
+++ b/Readme.md
@@ -16,6 +16,7 @@ contains the following components that are covered by additional licenses:
 * [MdeModulePkg/Universal/RegularExpressionDxe/Oniguruma](MdeModulePkg/Universal/RegularExpressionDxe/Oniguruma/README)
 * [OvmfPkg](OvmfPkg/License.txt)
 * [CryptoPkg/Library/OpensslLib/openssl](CryptoPkg/Library/OpensslLib/openssl/LICENSE)
+* [ArmPkg/Library/ArmSoftFloatLib/SoftFloat-3e](ArmPkg/Library/ArmSoftFloatLib/SoftFloat-3e/COPYING.txt)

Thanks
Liming
