MIT core with a separately licensed enterprise server, which is what open core means here. A read of the repo confirms it: the monorepo LICENSE opens "Portions of this software are licensed as follows" and carves out everything under enterprise/ to enterprise/LICENSE, which is the PolyForm Free Trial License 1.0.0, and that directory's README says outright "This is NOT an open source license. Usage is limited to 30 days per calendar year without a commercial license." The enterprise server now lives in its own active repo, OpenHands/OpenHands-Cloud, under the same PolyForm license, while OpenHands/OpenHands stays MIT. Functionality is withheld from the published source for a paid tier, which is what gating means.
