Is Miniconda released under an OSI-approved license? #195

Conda.jl obtains conda by downloading and running the Miniconda installer: https://github.com/JuliaPy/Conda.jl/blob/dc1c1c77afe796f816a7fae29cacf87cacb56986/src/Conda.jl#L128-L128

conda is released under the 3-clause BSD license.

However, what is the license for Miniconda?

Is Miniconda open-source software? That is, is Miniconda released under an OSI-approved license?

I tried to run the latest installer to see the license information. I've pasted it below. Isn't it odd that it starts out with "All rights reserved under the 3-clause BSD License:" only to list a lot of stuff that is not part of https://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause

Closing as a dup of #196.
