Would you prefer me to put that on hold, or should we drop those changes from this set and worry about those if/when we get around to relicensing edk2-platforms too? For the changes to ArmPkg, ArmPlatformPkg, EmbeddedPkg(, BeagleBoardPkg, Omap35xxPkg): Reviewed-by: Leif Lindholm For the changes to edk2: License.txt - could the commit message describe where the new text is from (as an implicit way of explaining why the layout/bulleting has changed in the portion that is otherwise content-wise identical)? - (I'm sorry, I should just keep quiet, but...) The copyright lines at the top of the Licence.txt file have been bugging me since day 1. Can we drop them? Clearly none of these organisations hold copyright over either the old or the new license. I'll just add that my wording for the Signed-off-by was just a meant as a starting point and I'd be happy to see it improved. But from my end, all edk2: patches other than "edk2: Change License.txt from 2-Clause BSD to BSD+Patent": Reviewed-by: Leif Lindholm / Leif On Sat, Mar 23, 2019 at 02:25:15AM +0000, Kinney, Michael D wrote: > Hello, > > New in V2 > ========= > * Remove Cc lines from commit messages > * Remove branch reference from commit messages > * Change license in 2 files missed in OvmfPkg > * Update OvmfPkg/License.txt to BSD+Patent as the default license > * Move the portions of Contributions.txt in the root of edk2 to > Readme.md in the root of edk2 that describe how to contribute > along with the commit message format. > * Add to Readme.md in the root of edk2 that Signed-off-by means that > the contributor certifies compliance to the Developer's Certificate > of Origin 1.1. https://developercertificate.org > ========= > > BZ: 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 > > I have posted the patch series for review on the following branch using > edk2-stable201903 as the base for the patch series. > > https://github.com/mdkinney/edk2/tree/Bug_1373_BsdPatentLicense_V2 > > The commits in patch series can be viewed here: > > https://github.com/mdkinney/edk2/commits/Bug_1373_BsdPatentLicense_V2 > > The patch series has one patch per package along with a few patches > to update the license information in the root of the edk2 repository > as described in the RFC V3. > > Due to the size of the patch series, I prefer to not send the > patch emails.
