F # PowerPack License

I have a question about licensing FSharp PowerPack.

The codeplex.com project page uses Apache 2.0. At the same time, after installation, in the folder with PowerPack you can find license.rtf, which claims that the product is distributed under MS-PL.

What license is F # PowerPack licensed under?

The license has changed from MS-PL to Apache 2.0 relatively recently (previously it was licensed under MS-PL, and the announcement has changed here ). I think you can safely assume that it is licensed under Apache 2.0, because that is what the team intends. As far as I can tell, this is just a packaging error, and the license distributed with the installation should also be Apache 2.0.

I am not a lawyer, but I think it may be possible to issue the code under several different licenses if you own it, so it may be that the installation of MS-PL is licensed legally, and the online source Apache 2 is licensed. (Even if it is not intentional.)

However, both licenses allow you to perform essentially the same things, so this should not be a problem.
