Licensing strategy

Project License

The license for the Kata Containers project is Apache 2.0.

License file

All repositories in the project have a top level file called LICENSE. This file lists full details of all licences used by the repository.

License for individual files

Where possible all files in all repositories also contain a SPDX license identifier. This provides fine-grained licensing and allows automated tooling to check the license of individual files.

This SPDX licence identifier requirement is enforced by the CI (Continuous Integration) system.
