License

Unless stated otherwise, ASF is licensed under Apache License 2.0. For a quick overview what you can and cannot do, you can use tl;dr Legal.

ASF license is very permissive and you're allowed to do much more than in standard GPL license, including using ASF in commercial projects without a requirement of making code open-source. In short, as stated by tl;dr Legal:

You can do what you like with the software, as long as you include the required notices. This permissive license contains a patent license from the contributors of the code.

Please note that various ASF components included with PackageReference are often licensed under different conditions, such as LGPL. Same thing applies to all other third-party projects that ASF makes use of, especially all tools that have their own licenses on top.
