In its essence it is a commercial product which has a free trial.

> Future Plans By providing the beta version of FireDucks free of charge and enabling data scientists to actually use it, NEC will work to improve its functionality while verifying its effectiveness, with the aim of commercializing it within FY2024.

Its BSD licensed. They do not way what the plans are but most likely a proprietary version with added support or features.

They say the source code for the part “where the magic happens” is not available so I am not sure what BSD implies there.
