The comment on top of some files do not clearly state this.

So it says EPL _and_ BSD, rather than EPL _or_ BSD.
Also, it is not clear which BSD license is being used as the root has
two different LICENSE*BSD.txt files [2]

The two BSD licenses are the same BSD3 license - they are just there
because there are two copyrights on different files.  I don't think this
affects any licensing questions.

The issue of AND vs OR does seem like it needs clarification, at least on
this list.  Is it possible that in legalese AND actually implies OR?
Somehow I don't think law works under strict Boolean logic.  @jody, any
comments?

Not sure I follow.  The files have been updated to indicate the licenses.
What do you think they should say?

I think copyright ownership (and applied license) should be advertised
in each file, while the external file should be referenced by the each
source file for further details.
