Openness
5 high confidence- license
- Apache-2.0(OSI)
- source
- public(skypilot-org/skypilot is the framework you run)
- core-gated
- ungated(a 3,121-entry recursive tree carries a root LICENSE plus two vendored component files, and no path matching enterprise, ee, commercial or proprietary)
Apache-2.0 with the framework published whole. SkyPilot Platform is sold beside it, which the ladder does not read as gating a core. The 3,121-entry recursive tree carries one governing LICENSE and no enterprise, ee or commercial path, and SkyPilot's own site lists the open project and SkyPilot Platform as separate products.

Capability
5 medium confidenceAdmitted on the accelerator limb: accelerators and infra are SkyPilot's own fields and it provisions against them. Band 5 because num_nodes is documented as 'the number of nodes reserved for the job' - a multi-machine set granted together - and SkyPilot chooses and creates those machines rather than handing the request to someone else's scheduler.
