From: Michael Kubacki <michael.kubacki@microsoft.com>

- Adds Apache License 2.0 as an acceptable source license per
  discussion in https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/110226
- Updates the URL for existing licenses to match the current path
  used by opensource.org.
- The submodule list in this file is stale and is very prone to
  being forgotten. The list of submodules in the submodules setion
  is replaced with a link to .gitmodules which has an active list
  of submodules at any given time.
