The Eclipse Public License - v 1.0 (EPL 1.0) is included in LICENSE.APACHE.txt, but I didn't find specified what parts of the code are licensed under the EPL 1.0.

Separately, the NOTICE.txt file states that the Eclipse Paho Java Client is licensed under the Eclipse Distribution License - v 1.0 (EDL 1.0).

The LICENSE.txt file doesn't mention any of the Eclipse Paho Java Client, the EPL, or the EDL.

What, if anything, is licensed under EPL 1.0? Should the above reference the EDL 1.0 instead of the EPL 1.0?

The license file https://github.com/aws-amplify/aws-sdk-android/blob/release_v2.52.1/LICENSE.txt is the most recent and mentions the license is under Apache 2.0 License. This is the correct reflection for most of the modules, except for the one mentioned in there about Amazon Cognito Identity Provider.

I believe

Eclipse Public License - v 1.0
does not need EPL outline in there and can be removed. (PR here #3611)

- Eclipse Paho Java Client - Copyright (c) 2007, Eclipse Foundation, Inc. and its licensors. (Eclipse Distribution License - v1.0)
is a reference to Third Party Component's license

and was added 9 years ago in this commit ce68ab5 I suspect that this was a dependency's license, and is more of a FYI than the license we are taking on.

Let me know if that helps answers your questions.
