This is a Russian organization. I doubt we want to waste money trying to
get a hold of this product to hunt down whether the restrictions on the
end product is evasive of any specific license within. Wikipedia article
states that they do not respond to email. It doesn't appear to have made
any new releases and seems to be dead.
btw it is availabe for download at:
ftp://downloads.linux-xp.com/pub/linux-xp/desktop/2008/international/LXPD...
