What is your license?

[jkowall]

This software repository has a confusing or missing license completely. Is there a reason the license is not explained somewhere in the repository?

Hello @jkowall sorry for the late reply, but this blog post can help answer: https://redpanda.com/blog/open-source

Additionally, https://github.com/redpanda-data/redpanda/tree/dev/licenses has some additional information with the licenses and about third party software we use.

It's not as easy as dropping a single LICENSE file in the repo because this is:

a) a mono repo, for example we provide some SDKs for Data Transforms that are Apache 2 licensed.
b) Different features are licensed differently in Redpanda itself, which is either RCL or BSL.

Thanks for the clarification @rockwotj However I would suggest you follow the licensing feature on GitHub which everyone uses. I can see the licenses used in https://github.com/redpanda-data/redpanda/tree/dev/licenses
