Description Clint.Clayton 2022-02-01 19:23:22 UTC 
FreeBSD's Makefile for log4shib shows APACHE20, but the project appears to be LGPL licensed.

https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/devel/log4shib/Makefile

Looking at the project it contains a COPYING file that shows a GPL license
Showing just the contents of a head of the file:

                  GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
                       Version 2.1, February 1999

 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL.  It also counts
 as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence


Looking through the project's ChangeLog file it contains the following change message: 

2001-02-15 Bastiaan Bakker <bastiaan.bakker@lifeline.nl>
        Release 0.2.1
        Changed license to the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL).


I also noticed that homebrew shows the project as LGPL as well: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/log4shib.rb#L6
