License-History.txt
===================
This file contains the history of license change and contributor's agreement
changes.
Unless otherwise noted in a specific file, the EDK2 project is now licensed
under the terms listed in the License.txt file. Terms under which Contributions
made prior to the move to the License.txt formulation are shown below. Those
terms require notice of the terms themselves be preserved and presented with the
contributions. This file serves that preservation purpose as a matter of
documenting the history of the project.

not documented, then submit the code on development email list
for the project.
5. It is preferred that contributions are submitted using the same
copyright license as the base project. When that is not possible,
then contributions using the following licenses can be accepted:
