Description
http://www.virtualbox.org/svn/vbox/trunk/src/VBox/Devices/EFI/Firmware/FatBinPkg/License.txt still has the term of "Additional terms: In addition to the forgoing, redistribution and use of the code is conditioned upon the FAT 32 File System Driver and all derivative works thereof being used for and designed only to read and/or write to a file system that is directly managed by Intel's Extensible Firmware Initiative (EFI) Specification v. 1.0 and later and/or the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) Forum's UEFI Specifications v.2.0 and later (together the "UEFI Specifications"); only as necessary to emulate an implementation of the UEFI Specifications; and to create firmware, applications, utilities and/or drivers." This was removed by upstream last year.

Obsolete as this package was removed when we updated our EFI firmware sources for VirtualBox 6.1 (and maybe even earlier).
