First a generic comment with some examples: Both of these include non-architecture-specific components that could be useful to have more generally available. Certainly AdvancedFeaturePkg/Smbios/ and AcpiDebug look like something of a generic nature rather than Intel-platform specific. And Platform/Intel/MinPlatformPkg/Library/CompressLib/CompressLib.c appears to have nearly only whitespace differences compared to edk2 ShellPkg/Library/UefiShellDebug1CommandsLib/Compress.c. (With edk2 already having 3 additional quite similar files in BaseTools/Source/C/Common/EfiCompress.c BaseTools/Source/C/Common/TianoCompress.c BaseTools/Source/C/TianoCompress/TianoCompress.c) Secondly - edk2 has recently transitioned to bsd+patents license, and it would make sense if edk2-platforms did the same. Do we want to do that before or after this addition? Finally, what should we do for Maintainers.txt?
