Need an explanation for the Kibana Licensing

Kibana

I read this: License settings | Reference but there are some things I dont understand.

This issue says it is only for elasticsearch: Unable to configure xpack license setting via ENV vars · Issue #78 · elastic/kibana-docker · GitHub . Does this mean Kibana has no licenses?

Does this variable only set the license type for Elasticsearch, or does it set it for Kibana as well?

xpack.license.self_generated.type

Also, what version do I get with the trial? Is it the full enterprise experience?
