None
If you only use it at build time, the answer changes.
BUSL-1.1 appears as a dev dependency, so it is not part of the artifact you ship. Distribution-triggered obligations do not arise. Tools that emit code into your output, such as code generators, are a separate case worth checking individually.
Not open source. Source-available with a time delay: use is restricted — typically barring competing production offerings — until a stated change date, after which the code converts to an open license such as Apache-2.0. The specific Additional Use Grant determines what you may actually do.

Check your whole manifest →The license was read from the repository's own LICENSE file, falling back to deps.dev and then ClearlyDefined — Go has no central license metadata, so a project's LICENSE at its default branch is the most direct answer to what it is licensed under today, then evaluated against each shipping model. Dependencies in this ecosystem are linked statically, which is assumed here. Only the declared license is considered; code copied into a project's own source files is not detected by this method.

LicenseGuard reports information derived from published license texts and dependency manifests. It is not legal advice and using it does not create an attorney-client relationship. Results reflect license metadata as declared; they do not identify every obligation or violation. Consult qualified counsel for decisions that matter.
