Apache-2.0(OSI)

source

public

core-gated

ungated

Apache-2.0 license body confirmed. The repository is public and unarchived and builds the whole product, and the README describes no paid tier, enterprise edition or license-gated build beside it, so source is public and the core ungated. Chroma Cloud is a hosted service sold beside the Apache-2.0 core rather than a piece withheld from it: the repository carries the Rust engine, the clients and the Kubernetes deployment manifests, which is the langchain shape rather than the litellm one.
