Which Jira alternatives use a permissive licence?

2 of 8 are permissively licensed (MIT, Apache, BSD or similar): Kanboard (MIT), Taiga (MPL-2.0). 6 use copyleft licences such as GPL or AGPL, which require you to publish changes if you distribute a modified version.

Which Jira alternatives run in Docker?
