Hm. You're sure that it's because of that line? It seems to me like e-
cal-backend-exchange-tasks.c would just ignore any properties that it
didn't recognize.

I don't know if there's any API to make it either not add the error
message, or to automatically strip it out.

But e-cal-backend-exchange-calendar.c has some example code of how to
iterate through the X- properties (eg, add_vevent().), so you could just
do that, and if you find one with an x_name of "X-LIC-ERROR", call
icalcomponent_remove_property.
