GitHub reports hanzoai/vector as "MIT License". It reads that off this branch,
`main`, whose LICENSE is a Hanzo-written MIT stub added in the initial commit
(f2b8a6205, 2026-01-19). The product is on `master`: 5421 commits rooted at
Qdrant's own "init", 13 crates declaring Apache-2.0 and still naming Andrey
Vasnetsov and the Qdrant Team as authors, LICENSE untouched since Qdrant
created it.
So the repository advertised MIT over Apache-2.0 code it did not write, and the
README on this branch — which describes that product down to HNSW, payload
filtering and ports 6333/6334 — closed with "MIT License". Anyone relying on
the repository's stated licence was relying on the wrong one.
LICENSE and NOTICE are now byte-identical to master's, and the README's licence
section says Apache-2.0 and points at the upstream.
This is a licensing determination, so it is worth being precise about what it
is not: no upstream licence was edited. The file replaced here is ours, written
by us, describing software that is not ours. Correcting it is not the same act
as touching Qdrant's LICENSE, which stays exactly as they wrote it.
One thing this does not settle, for whoever owns the repository: the default
branch is still this stub rather than `master`, where the code is. That is a
product decision; the licence label was not.

Hanzo Vector
High-performance vector database for AI embeddings and similarity search.
Overview
Hanzo Vector is a production-ready vector database optimized for AI workloads. It provides efficient storage and retrieval of high-dimensional vectors, enabling lightning-fast similarity search for embeddings generated by large language models, image encoders, and other AI systems.
Features
- High Performance: Optimized HNSW indexing for fast approximate nearest neighbor search
- Scalability: Horizontal scaling with distributed architecture
- Flexible Filtering: Combine vector search with payload filtering
- Multiple Distance Metrics: Cosine, Euclidean, Dot Product
- REST & gRPC APIs: Easy integration with any language
- Cloud Native: Kubernetes-ready with Helm charts
Quick Start
docker run -p 6333:6333 -p 6334:6334 hanzo/vector
