Microsoft relicensed EDK2 FatPkg to BSD!!

Laszlo Ersek of RedHat has updated the EDK2’s FatPkg to use the BSD license!

“This is huge. It will enable Fedora to ship OvmfPkg and ArmVirtPkg builds. It will enable RHEL to ship OVMF in Main. Of course other GNU/Linux distros will benefit similarly.”

I rarely say this as much as I’d like to, but: “Great job Microsoft!”
