I am unsure which commands from the toolbox that can be run.

Also for which one require a license.

Hi @pksorensen , this container has only the open source versions listed on https://github.com/LAStools/LAStools: open source tools:

laszip.exe compresses the LAS files in a completely lossless manner
lasinfo.exe prints out a quick overview of the contents of a LAS file
lasindex.exe creates a spatial index LAX file for fast spatial queries
las2las.exe extracts last returns, clips, subsamples, translates, etc ...
lasmerge.exe merges several LAS or LAZ files into a single LAS or LAZ file
txt2las.exe converts LIDAR data from ASCII text to binary LAS format
las2txt.exe turns LAS into human-readable and easy-to-parse ASCII
lasprecision.exe analyses the actual precision of the LIDAR points

These are LGPL 2.1 as shown here https://github.com/LAStools/LAStools/blob/master/LICENSE.txt

Thanks for finding the info for me :) I googled but got confused.
