(Echoing https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2834:) In the past, the TianoCore Contribution Agreement provided equal to what the (+patent) gives us, but also for all the alternative licenses listed under "Code Contributions". When the contribution agreement was dropped, no conversation was had about this aspect.
Until this issue is resolved, only code licensed under edk2+patent should be accepted into the project. It is not obvious whether modifications to non-bsd+patent code that *was* contributed under the TCA can still be accepted. This set deletes the current version of license checking in PatchCheck.py that was added in a4cfb842fca9. It also deletes all references to other acceptable licenses (and public domain). This gives us a clean slate to make informed decisions on what is and is not acceptable for this project. The statement that "Contributions using other licenses might be accepted, but further review will be required." is intentionally retained.
