Clarification on CodeQL CLI Licensing for On-Premise Azure DevOps Usage #21487

Description

@iSQL

Hello,

I've reviewed the CodeQL CLI LICENSE.md (https://github.com/github/codeql-cli-binaries/blob/main/LICENSE.md), which states that local analysis of non-open-source codebases requires a paid GitHub Advanced Security (GHAS) license.

My questions:

  1. Can the CodeQL CLI be used legally for local analysis (database creation/analysis) on private enterprise code hosted in on-premise Azure DevOps Server (not Azure DevOps Services/GitHub)? Or I must host my code in the cloud?

  2. Does a standard GHAS license (via GitHub Enterprise Cloud/Server) cover this scenario, or is additional licensing required for Azure DevOps on-prem integration?
