Hi Mike, Have been thinking on this (and been on holiday last week).

It's not *equivalent*, so the question is whether dropping it would be problematic to anyone (be that practically, legally or politically). - The TianoCore Contribution Agreement (TCA) explicitly grants rights to Intel, as opposed to the project, beyond what the FreeBSD license does. - The FreeBSD Documentation License (FDL) as documented by SPDX explicitly references SGML (lol), whereas the license pointed to by the link now says AsciiDoc. - We could carry a copy of the licenseto disambiguate, but this is as much a problem today as it would be if we dropped the TCA. My view of the individual sections of the TCA: - Section 1 - definitions. Feels redundant to me. - Section 2 - license. - Sneaks in a non-endorsement clause. Do we need that? - Adds an explixit patent grant. Do we need that for the *documentation* of software covered by an explicit patent grant? - Liability statement looks identical to BDL. - Section 3 - Representations. - My view is the DCO(/COO) makes this section redundant. - Section 4 - Third Party Contributions. - Feels conflicting/redundant with DCO, and less relevant for documentation? - Section 5 - Miscellaneous. - Feels at best redundant and at worst not compatible with either FDL or DCO as applied to an open source project - feels yanked out of a proprietary license. / Leif > > -----Original Message----- > > From: devel@edk2.groups.io <devel@edk2.groups.io> On Behalf Of Leif Lindholm > > Sent: Thursday, April 6, 2023 2:47 AM > > To: devel@edk2.groups.io > > Cc: rebe...@bsdio.com; Ard Biesheuvel <ardb+tianoc...@kernel.org>; Demeter, > > Miki <miki.deme...@intel.com>; Kinney, Michael > > D <michael.d.kin...@intel.com> > > Subject: Re: [edk2-devel] [PATCH tianocore-docs v3 2/2] Readme.md: Update > > the Gitbook documentation section > > > > On Thu, Apr 06, 2023 at 10:42:34 +0100, Leif Lindholm wrote: > > > On Wed, Apr 05, 2023 at 19:06:18 -0600, Rebecca Cran wrote: > > > > We no longer use Gitbook for publishing the documentation. > > > > Update the section to direct users to use the mailing list to > > > > send feedback, and since we use GitHub Flavored Markdown, remove the > > > > link to Gitbook. > > > > > > > > Contributed-under: TianoCore Contribution Agreement 1.1 > > > > > > We don't use that any more, please drop (old template?). > > > > Or, err, have we not fixed that for tianocore-docs? > > This feels suboptimal. > > > > Mike: is this something we can address? > > > > / > > Leif > > > > > With that: > > > Reviewed-by: Leif Lindholm <quic_llind...@quicinc.com> > > > > > > > Signed-off-by: Rebecca Cran <rebe...@bsdio.com> > > > > --- > > > > Readme.md | 7 +++---- > > > > 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) > > > > > > > > diff --git a/Readme.md b/Readme.md > > > > index 1e4a5d25bd6f..494b23af3ac7 100644 > > > > --- a/Readme.md > > > > +++ b/Readme.md > > > > @@ -30,12 +30,11 @@ documentation. > > > > > > > > # EDK II GitBook Documents > > > > > > > > -These are the latest draft revisions published using > > > > [Gitbook](https://legacy.gitbook.com/). > > > > +These are the latest draft revisions. > > > > The source content for these documents are in GIT repositories in the > > > > [Tianocore-docs](https://github.com/tianocore-docs) organization > > > > hosted by [GitHub](https://github.com). > > > > -Feedback on these documents may be provided using the > > > > [Gitbook](https://www.gitbook.com) commenting feature > > > > -available when reading the **HTML** versions of the documents. > > > > Document issues and feature requests can also > > > > -be entered in [Tianocore Bugzilla](https://bugzilla.tianocore.org). > > > > +Feedback on these documents may be provided via the mailing list. > > > > +Document issues and feature requests can also be entered in [Tianocore > > > > Bugzilla](https://bugzilla.tianocore.org). > > > > > > > > * **_EDK II Build Specification_** \[ > > > > [HTML > > > > ](https://tianocore-docs.github.io/edk2-BuildSpecification/draft/), > > > > -- > > > > 2.39.2 (Apple Git-143) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
