Update the IP Due Diligence Process documentation in light of October 2019 IP Policy updates

Submitted by Wayne Beaton @wbeaton

Link to original bug (#553649)

Description

We need to update the documentation.

The gist is:

  • Generate a dependency list
  • Scan the list to flag those entries that are "problematic"
  • Engage with the IP Team to resolve those problematic entries
  • Profit.

Obviously, more detail is required. I'll capture that detail here.

We intend to support the scanning part (bullet #2 (closed)) by providing a tool. This is tracked in Bug 553016. I may make that bug a blocker (theoretically, we can do this without a tool, but a tool will certainly make it easier).
