We are in the process of bringing in the Linux compatible version of InfluxDB 2.x Open Source Time Series Database. My query is if this is a free and open-source product that can be leveraged without any cost and licensing obligations?

@mithunk41 Yes, InfluxDB v2 OSS (open source) uses the [MIT license](https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb/blob/main-2.x/LICENSE) and can be used without cost.
