Hen,

Current language should be read as an OR.

Thanks Michael.

Should I read the text as a logical OR or an AND?

ie) does EDK2 feel the current text is unchanged in effect from the Apache ICLA or that the text is intentionally changed in effect from the Apache ICLA so that both clauses apply on each contribution?

Thanks,

Hen

Hi Hen,

Thanks for the feedback.

After review, we do not think this change is required.

If there are other reasons to update the agreement in the
future, we can include this update at that time.

Mike
