- GitHub Actions for Gradle v6 changes caching to a proprietary license but remains free for public repos.
- The caching functionality in setup-gradle is now a closed-source library under Terms of Use.
- Upgrading to v6 requires accepting new terms; workflows function the same except removed experimental Configuration Cache support.
- The change supports advanced features like future Configuration Cache improvements and better performance for self-hosted runners.
- Gradle remains committed to open source with free caching for public repositories and support for projects needing more via Develocity.
