I found the license grant in the README.torque file.

torque packages (<=2.4) are using the original license.

"It may be utilized, modified, and distributed subject to the
constraints of the license
located in the PBS_License.txt file."

and torque packages (>=2.5) are using the new introduced license.

"It may be utilized, modified, and distributed subject to the
constraints of the license
located in the PBS_License_2.5.txt file."

Current upstream is not the copyright holder of the original code. So
I don't understand how they can replace the license for the whole
project.

Thanks
-Dominique
