Right, I have checked the contributor agreement before, an we've discussed this with Paolo because I was worried as well. The copyright holder of that SeaBIOS commit is Red Hat (via Gerd), thus I can re-contribute it (on behalf or Red Hat) under a different open source license. I didn't spend much time on customizing the license block, because I expected changes anyway (this being an RFC series), and I'd like it to be reviewed same as the code. Do you want me to copy the full text from "OvmfPkg/License.txt" to the top of "OvmfPkg/AcpiTables/Ssdt.asl", or would you prefer a reference to it (that is, "2-clause BSD License", maybe with a pointer to "OvmfPkg/License.txt")?
