You're right, and I have just corrected this. The license in the repo now uses the canonical FSL-1.1-ALv2 based on the template from fsl.software and now includes the patent grant clause.

The omission wasn't intentional -- the patent grant wasn't on my radar when the original license text was committed. FSL licensing is very new territory for me and I duffed it slightly, now corrected.

That's odd, Cargo.toml says license is Apache 2

https://github.com/statewright/statewright/blob/main/Cargo.t...

Is that wrong?

the Cargo.toml covers the built Rust crates (engine, agent). the plugins/ directory has it's own LICENSE.md with the FSL terms. split license: the engine is completely open source, plugins FSL with a 3 year clock. I should make this clearer in the workspace config. I am planning on releasing more of the crates, they will likely be FSL and each of those crates will have a LICENSE.md override. I think this is the canonical pattern but anyone please correct me
update: I released the of the crates (with the exception of the gateway as FSL) as Apache 2.0 today (and uploaded to crates.io) along with a UI piece that's Apache 2.0 as well.

You should be able to run self-hosted end-to-end with docker-compose, let me know with a GitHub issue if something isn't working in that regard
