PlanetGen lists compatibility with Blender 4.0, along with the 3.x series down to 3.0, specifically 4.0, 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 3.3, 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0. That range covers a broad span of Blender releases, so users on a current 4.0 build or an older 3.x install should be able to run it. If you are on a Blender version outside this list, check the developer's page for the latest compatibility details before installing the add-on.
PlanetGen is released under the GPL license. This applies to the version currently listed here, PlanetGen 2.1, and governs how the add-on may be used and distributed. GPL is a widely used open-source license, though the specific terms and any conditions attached to your download are best confirmed on the developer's page. Licensing can change between releases, so checking there gives you the current details before you download or redistribute the add-on.
PlanetGen is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing and pricing on a developer's own store can differ or change over time, so for the current terms and the most up-to-date download options, the developer's page is the best place to confirm before you get the add-on. It ships under the GPL license and comes with documentation, both of which apply to the version listed here as PlanetGen 2.1.
PlanetGen comes with documentation, which is listed among its features. Alongside the documentation, a demo video is available for PlanetGen at the linked video page. Both are resources that go with the add-on. For the documentation and the demo video themselves, head to the developer's page where PlanetGen is published, as that is where these materials are found and where any updates to them would be posted.
