Hi I noticed you had a conversation sometime back here:
https://github.com/aparapi/aparapi/issues/50

I wanted to mention that Aparapi is no longer maintained at the address you
specified and all developers, including the founder, have moved onto the
new repository which is now active and well funded here:
https://git.qoto.org/aparapi/aparapi

During that port back in 2016 the license was reviewed by a paid lawyer
hired by the new foundation and the license was legally changed. As our
lawyer had assured us the original additional verbiage in the license for
the original release of Aparapi did not functionally change the license in
any way, it simply allowed AMD to protect themselves against any liability
should the software be misused. The original added verbiage basically
amounted to "You can not break the law when you exercise your rights under
this license", which is already implied with an MIT license but not
explicitly stated.

As such we were able to legally and effectively relicense the software
under the apache license and the new software is licensed wholly under the
Apache license with no additional restrictions of any kind. You are free to
repackage and redistribute the license exactly as you would under the
Apache license.

Let me know if you have any questions.
