Ah, it has the fabled BSD+ license: https://github.com/facebookresearch/Horizon/blob/master/PATE... I guess that's not too unusual from their opensource contributions at this point.

Hey! Thanks for your feedback. I have to admit that I'm a license noob and picked an option basically at random. I am changing Horizon to a BSD license (no PATENTS part).

Wow, that's... fantastic and generous, I wasn't expecting this response. The change makes this framework so much more inviting to use.

(I'm also surprised Facebook's legal / open source policy would allow such flexibility around licenses.)
