Developer Control Pane - Source/License Clarification

[swimmesberger]

Aspire uses the developer control pane (DCP) underneath to control local development/testing orchestration (Aspire.Hosting.Orchestration;github.com/microsoft/usvc-apiserver).
Are there any plans to open-source that tool too? Currently the EULA states "You may install and use any number of copies of the software to develop and test your applications", is it allowed to use DCP in on-premise, "local-cloud", single-node scenarios too? This makes it possible to generally develop distributed applications in a unified way independent of the production requirement regarding reliability. I know there are tools like minikube, k3s for those scenarios too but dcp might be easier and more comfortable to use.
