The Akka license is changing: https://www.lightbend.com/blog/why-we-are-changing-the-license-for-akka to a paid model for "production" use with exceptions for open source projects.

Wellcome Collection uses Akka libraries in many places, we should apply for exemption for production use.

Yup, noted. I don't think it immediately affects us because we're using older versions, but one to look out for if/when we next upgrade.
