    Change License.txt in the root of the edk2 repository from the
    2-Clause BSD License to the BSD+Patent License.
    
    The text difference between these licenses in the patch is larger
    than expected due to different choices for the position of the line
    breaks.  The text from the BSD 2-Clause license and its disclaimer
    are the same.  New clauses from the BSD+Patent license have been
    added.
