Hi, I am trying to run stardog via docker for a research project and am struggling to find the license file. All links and tutorials point to [this website](https://www.stardog.com/stardog-cloud/) as a means of obtaining it, however I can not find a download button anywhere. I only end up in the stardog cloud, where I can't find a license file either. Is running a docker container not possible with a free license? Thanks ---
