From 8da978bf68535ec9fc41f400f22f09b033dd535a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Kubacki Date: Tue, 31 Oct 2023 17:13:26 -0400 Subject: ReadMe.rst: Add Apache License 2.0 and update submodule list - Adds Apache License 2.0 as an acceptable source license per discussion in https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/110226 - Updates the URL for existing licenses to match the current path used by opensource.org. - The submodule list in this file is stale and is very prone to being forgotten. The list of submodules in the submodules setion is replaced with a link to .gitmodules which has an active list of submodules at any given time.
