> Found in review of 2.0.0 RC3.
> From Justin Mclean:
> The source LICENSE has a minor issue. It mentions the 4 clause BSD license which is not compatible with the Apache license (only the 2 and 3 clause BSD licenses are) [1][2]. In this case the extra clause has been recinded [3] you might want to reword/state that in the license.
> ...
> I would also remove the GPL license text from the server’s LICENSE file to make it clear which license it’s included under. If something is dual licensed you select which licence you want to use.
