Needs a Commercial License:

Needs a separate agreement:

• Offering Dockhand to third parties as a hosted, managed or SaaS product whose main value is Docker management - this is outside the Commercial License too

Each version becomes Apache 2.0 four years after it is first published, so every version converts on its own date.
