IDA Pro support is optional, experimental, and Windows-only, and needs a licensed IDA Pro with a decompiler. Python decompilation needs pip3 install uncompyle6.
Ethereum smart-contract decompilation is marked experimental and Linux or macOS only.
The README does not name a license for the extension.
