Hi Experts, We are considering adding the support for a Freescale ARM64 based platform in the EDK2 tree and upstreaming the same.
Since EDK2 is compliant with the BSD - Clause 2 licensing terms (see reference : http://opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php), we are contemplating the licensing terms required to upstream the same. So far the ARM platforms present in EDK2 tree (submitted by ARM and Texas Instruments) follow this License version (https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/ArmPlatformPkg/License.txt). So, can are planning to add a Freescale specific Copyright information on this overall license and use it for the Freescale specific packages while upstreaming the code. Or should we keep only the line specifying the Freescale license and remove the lines related to Apple and ARM? Modified License: ----------------- Copyright (c) 2009-2010, Apple Inc.

Please share your views. Since this is our step in the direction of upstreaming code to the EDK2 tree, we might be missing stuff here. If there is any other pre-requisites to keep in mind for upstreaming a new SoC support in EDK2 tree, please share the same as well. Thanks for your help.
