JetBrains grants You a non-exclusive and non-transferable right to use each Product covered by the Toolbox Subscription for non-commercial, educational purposes only (including conducting academic research or providing educational services). Section 3.1 of the license says, in relevant part: But it seems reasonably clear that this is not what the company has in mind.Īnother user has pointed out a link to the actual license terms which I failed to note.
If work is done on a student project, and after a non-student license is purchased that project is commercialized, would the license have been violated, and if so, would the company be likely to sue? The fist question cannot be answered without the full text of the license, and the second would require reading the minds of the company officials. But the FAQ says:įree educational licenses can be used strictly for non-commercial educational purposes (including academic research).Įxactly how this company defines "non-commercial educational purposes" is not stated. Those are things that are foundational and end up being useful in far more situations than an IDE will.The full text of the license is not included on the page you link to, or on any linked page that I checked. You can get by with just IntelliJ but you’ll have to wade through a ton of Java-specific stuff when trying to work on other languages.Īll that being said - If you’re learning though and especially if you aren’t yet being paid for your time, I’d argue that you’re better off focusing on learning vim (which can be emulated in IntelliJ) and other command line tooling that can aid development (standard GNU/Linux tools like bash, sed, etc).
I end up paying for the full license for everything - IntelliJ can do everything but it’s nice to have Goland and P圜harm available just because the interface is more streamlined. I used to think IDEs were bloated and for noobs but when I actually put some time into becoming comfortable with them as part of my workflow my productivity increased dramatically. I think so, especially if you’re a professional or hoping to make a career out of programming.
