Re: [Patch V3 7/8] edk2: Move License.txt file to root

["Kinney, Michael D" <michael.d.kinney@intel.com>]

Hi Jordan,

Yes.  The ECP change is on purpose to make ECP license
consistent with the majority of the edk2 content.

The summary of all licenses used in all components has
been added to Readme.md in the root of the edk2 repo,
so any developer that looks at this repo know all the 
licenses in use without having to search through all
the directories in the repository. 

Mike
