Influxdb is an optional dependency, you can configure prometheus to use it
as storage. It is not included in any ways. What is included is a module
that can connect to it.

In the case it is included, as part of bootstrap, it is under the apache
license, because of a special agreement, that when it is part of bootstrap
it is dual licensed to this effect. My current evaluation is that it is ok
to include the package as is.
