[License-review] Approval: BSD + Patent License

[Tzeng, Nigel H.]

Why is UPL not good enough for folks and how does BSD + PL better address
any concerns folks had with UPL 2 years ago?


What can Intel do with BSD+PL that it cannot do with UPL (MIT+PL)?

I think these are two very basic questions for which I have seen no
answers or even discussion.
