Description
**Describe the bug**
The pom https://github.com/jakartaee/mail-api/blob/master/api/pom.xml states EDL-1.0 as one of three license entries. The other two declared licenses are EPL-2.0 and GPL-2.0 WITH Classpath-exception-2.0 which reflect the defined project license EPL-2.0 with secondary license.
There is no further reference to EDL-1.0 in the sources / package and it is unclear what the semantics of the given EDL-1.0 is (SPDX "AND" / "OR"). Probably the given EDL-1.0 is even a wrong license info which slipped in here at some time.
**To Reproduce**
Find the questionable license entry in https://github.com/jakartaee/mail-api/blob/666ec999d8931041d89eabf10d807e5262195f8f/api/pom.xml
**Expected behavior**
Either there is additional info somewhere in the package on the EDL-1.0 license (license text; to which code portions does it apply; is it "AND" or "OR") or the EDL-1.0 entry is removed from the pom.xml.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with api/pom.xml at the referenced commit and inspect the source and packaged metadata for any EDL-1.0 license text or scope. Confirm whether the entry has defined SPDX semantics; done means documenting that information in the package or removing the EDL-1.0 entry when no supporting information exists.
