Buck2 is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, a permissive licence that generally allows commercial use and modification. Licence terms can change between releases, so verify against the repository for the version you intend to use.","source":"https://github.com/facebook/buck2","question":"Is Buck2 open source?","confidence":0.95}]` | `[{"answer":"A library and terminal tool that examines Bazel build profiles to identify performance bottlenecks and suggest improvements for faster builds.

Pricing is quoted on request, across 2 plans (Free and Enterprise), so the figure depends on your seat count and requirements. We record this as a pricing-transparency signal rather than guessing a number.
