no — a 3,121-entry recursive tree carries a root LICENSE plus two vendored component files, and no path matching enterprise, ee, commercial or proprietary

SkyPilot is Apache-2.0, with the framework published whole. SkyPilot Platform is sold beside it, but that does not gate the core: the repository's LICENSE covers the whole tree with no enterprise, ee or commercial path, and SkyPilot's own site lists the open project and SkyPilot Platform as separate products.

• https://api.github.com/repos/skypilot-org/skypilot/git/trees/master?recursive=1 recorded 2026-09-15

  Full untruncated recursive tree of the default branch, 3,121 entries. Licenses are the root LICENSE plus two vendored component files. No path matches enterprise, ee, commercial or proprietary. A tree lists paths; it is cited for that and for nothing about the vendor's offerings.

Accelerators and infrastructure targets are SkyPilot's own schema fields, and SkyPilot provisions against them directly. num_nodes reserves a documented set of nodes for one job, and SkyPilot chooses and creates those machines itself rather than handing the request to another scheduler, which puts it level with KAI Scheduler.
