I don't actually see this file in the pptpd package, but I looked at the one in
the ppp-devel package and it is a variant of the "BSD with Attribution"
license, so just add that to the License tag if it is actually in the pptpd
package.

These are clearly derived from the pptpclient source by C. S. Ananian, which is
GPLv2+, so these files can be considered to be under that license as well.

Assuming that the pppd.h file isn't in pptpd, the license tag should be:

GPLv2+ and LGPLv2+

Lifting FE-Legal.
