Hello Leif, and thank you for the message and the review.
I wasn't able to configure `git send-email` with my provider (GMX), and all the doc and support is in German... so basically I only use emails through web interfaces.
I didn't know there was corruption through the web interface: I thought the patch format was ASCII-friendly.
If attachments are fine, then that will also be the easiest for me in the future, as I won't need to copy-paste the content anymore.
so could you confirm whether you are happy to contribute these
patches under BSD+Patent?
Sure. I'm fine with any license with all my contributions; so BSD+Patent it is for past and future patches on edk2.
Do I need to resubmit anything? Or is this declaration enough for past emails on the mailing list?
Actually, I can even share the whole 4000+ typos corrections (https://github.com/Coeur/edk2/commit/c2eed45a596b42768fe7916fb5491bfc1b9efe0c) as CC0 (https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/deed): you can cherry pick from it anytime. I don't think there is any intellectual property possible for spelling corrections anyway.
