Hi, I was checking the license for logstash-oss and found a notice.txt file containing licenses of few dependencies. One among them is the ```auto END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT RED HAT UNIVERSAL BASE IMAGE ``` which is a notice added for Red Hat Universal Base Image minimal-8 Upon further investigation, it is found that redhat is being used in logstash github repo in [qa/sys/redhat](https://github.com/elastic/logstash/tree/v8.8.0/qa/sys/redhat) **Is this the only place where redhat base image is used?** The qa folder is missing in logstash-oss source code but still the notice.txt contains EULA for redhat even though redhat is not present. **The notice.txt for logstash-oss is exactly the same as the one in full distribution. Is this expected?** **Is the EULA in notice.txt applicable when we build and use logstash-oss ?** Thanks in Advance. Regards, Mohana Krishnan ---

Hello, There is no SLA on this forum and only someone from Elastic can answer your question. You may get a faster answer opening an issue in Logstash repository on github or maybe sending an e-mail to `elastic_license@elastic.co`. ---
