# 52467047 04-Feb-2019 Warner Losh <imp@FreeBSD.org>

Regularize the Netflix copyright

Use recent best practices for Copyright form at the top of
the license:
1. Remove all the All Rights Reserved clauses on our stuff. Where we
piggybacked others, use a separate line to make things clear.
2. Use "Netflix, Inc." everywhere.
3. Use a single line for the copyright for grep friendliness.
4. Use date ranges in all places for our stuff.

Create libefivar library. This library aims to provide
the same API as the GPL'd version of this library. It implements the common
Linux API for programatically manipulating UEFI environment varibales using
the UEFI Runtime Services the kernel provides. It replaces the old efi
library since it is programmed to a different interface, but retails the
CHAR16 to UTF-8 and vice versa conversion routines. The new name is to match
Linux program's expectations.
