General guidance from repository metadata, not legal advice. How we score
From the README
The Alertmanager handles alerts sent by client applications such as the Prometheus server. It takes care of deduplicating, grouping, and routing them to the correct receiver integrations such as email, PagerDuty, OpsGenie, or many other mechanisms thanks to the webhook receiver. It also takes care of silencing and inhibition of alerts.
There are various ways of installing Alertmanager.
Precompiled binaries for released versions are available in the download section on prometheus.io. Using the latest production release binary is the recommended way of installing Alertmanager.
