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. A hosted Cloud and Enterprise tier is sold beside the Apache-2.0 core; the repository carries the Rust engine and all four language bindings, so nothing is withheld from the published source.
