Apache-2.0 and fully public, governed by LF AI & Data. The LICENSE file resolves to the full Apache-2.0 text, the repository carries the matching badge and docker-compose self-hosting instructions, and Zilliz Cloud is named only as the managed offering beside it rather than as a tier holding anything back, so nothing is withheld from the published tree.
