The server side of Guacamole has used the OSSP UUID library to generate its unique identifiers for ages, but this library has been [the occasional source of trouble|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-999]:

It would probably be better to build against the libuuid (part of util-linux), as it is widely available across the various Linux distros. For non-Linux systems, OSSP UUID remains the best alternative.

libuuid is licensed under 3-clause BSD.
