- 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.
