Description dileep.gunda 2024-11-01 02:12:08 UTC
Description of problem:
Epel repository (https://rhel.pkgs.org/9/epel-x86_64/xrdp-0.10.1-1.el9.x86_64.rpm.html) mentions 3 licenses with AND condition between them - ASL 2.0 and GPLv2+ and MIT, but source code mentions only MIT license (https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xrdp). Can you please clarify if it is dual license with AND of them or just MIT license as mentioned in their Git repo?

Comment 1 Bojan Smojver 2024-11-01 22:21:35 UTC
Right now, xrdp is licensed under ASL 2.0:

https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xrdp/blob/devel/COPYING
https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xrdp/blob/v0.10/COPYING

However, it used to be licensed under GPL 2+:

https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xrdp/commit/1123323fda6d128fb98b0427e0ea5f6a2dc9e632

If you find mentions of MIT licence in the code, it is entirely possible that some files have been brought in that were licences that way. MIT is a permissive licence and I would not be surprised for this to be the case.

If you need 100% authoritative view on this, please open an upstream bug and ask there. The developers will know for sure.
