License specification is not clear

Describe the bug

The repository mentions two different licenses: The "Eclipse Distribution License v. 1.0" and the "BSD 3-Clause" license. It is not really clear, which is applicable to the project, EDL, BSD or both.

  • pom.xml: Both in comment, EDL in metadata
  • LICENSE.md: BSD
  • NOTICE.md: both
  • Source code comments: both

Expected behavior

I should be able to see the correct licence in all those places. As far as I can see, the EDL has no official SPDX identifier, so if one wants to keep the SPDX-conformant headers and the license is, in fact, EDL, a new identifier should be requested

They're two different names for the same license. EDL is here.
