Hello,

New in V3
=========
* Update the base of the patch series from edk2-stable201903 to
  7ed72121b7 that is after the file add/remove freeze:

  https://lists.01.org/pipermail/edk2-devel/2019-April/038574.html

* Replace copyright line in License.txt in root with a single copyright
  for "TianoCore and contributors".
* Clarify commit message for changes to License.txt to state the text 
  differences are larger than expected due to differences in line breaks.
* There is one less patch in the series than V2 due to the retirement
  of the EdkCompatibilityPkg.
* The git feature "git range-diff" can be used to compare the V2 and
  V3 branches even though they have different bases.  If you have both
  the V2 and V3 branches in your local repo, you can use the following 
  command to see the changes.  Most are due to the removal of .S files
  in March.  If you pipe through grep looking for "diff --git" you will
  see the list of files with differences.

  git range-diff edk2-stable201903..Bug_1373_BsdPatentLicense_V2 7ed72121b7..Bug_1373_BsdPatentLicense_V3

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
7ed72121b7 as the base for the patch series.

  https://github.com/mdkinney/edk2/tree/Bug_1373_BsdPatentLicense_V3

The commits in patch series can be viewed here:

  https://github.com/mdkinney/edk2/commits/Bug_1373_BsdPatentLicense_V3

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.  Instead, please perform code reviews using content
from the branch.

All EDK II package maintainers and package reviewers should provide
review feedback for their packages.  The critical part of the review
is:
1) Any changes that cause build breaks or logic changes.  These code
   changes are intended to only modify license contents in comment
   blocks.
2) Any file that has been changed to BSD+Patent, but should remain
   with the current license.
3) Any file that that has not changed to BSD+Patent, but should be
   changed to BSD+Patent. 

Feedback and Reviewed-by emails should identify the patch the feedback
applies using the patch summary listed below.  The goal is to complete
all reviews to support the commit of these patches on April 9, 2019.
