I didn't find a copy of the license. The PDF referenced in the other issue doesn't contain the license or information about packaging and distribution. ("Pricing and packaging" means something different in that document.)

Those look like licenses for third-party components used in horizon, not the license for horizon itself.

General terms are at https://www.omnissa.com/general-terms

I don't see anything related to distributing packages, but there is prohibition from publishing benchmarks:

Benchmarking. Customer may use the Offerings to conduct internal performance testing and benchmarking studies. Customer may only publish or distribute study results with Omnissa’s approval.

I think section 1.2 and 1.3 here would inherently allow a copy for redistribution: https://www.omnissa.com/software-exhibit/
