ungated

BSD-3-Clause license body confirmed. The repository is public and unarchived and builds the whole server, and the README describes no paid tier, enterprise edition or license-gated build beside it - Weaviate Cloud is a hosted service sold beside the BSD-licensed core rather than a piece withheld from it. So source is public and the core ungated.
