We are using Kafka on Azure Event Hubs and need to use Kafka Connect as a source to watch on MongoDB changes streams and send those changes to a topic. My question is about licensing. Following [this tutorial](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/kafka-connector/current/tutorials/tutorial-setup/#std-label-kafka-tutorials-docker-setup) from MongoDB, it uses the image `confluentinc/cp-kafka-connect-base`. Is an Enterprise license required to use this on our cluster? According to [this reference](https://docs.confluent.io/platform/current/installation/docker/image-reference.html#connect-images), I understand that a Confluent Enterprise License is necessary, but I’m a bit confused about it.
