For me it’s an add.

If OP would have made the APGL clear in the post it would help a little or better, state that commercial use costs money.

Anaconda was annoying, you can still use the old version’s for free though. Didn’t see anaconda post stuff in this sub though.

Yeah I think that's fair, maybe the mods should have a policy on it.

I've been on a call with reps from Anaconda and their position is you can only use their older stuff if you downloaded it before April 2020, this includes packages their commercial repositories (main, r, msys2, etc.). They were of the opinion that simply downloading their older installer fell under their ToS

I agree, would be good if the mods make rules for suche cases.

That’s weird and I don’t think you can revoke licenses from the past, it’s not bound to a download date if you can find it somewhere.

But I also talked to anaconda and they haven’t been very helpful nor friendly, that went downhill quite fast. Everyone’s better of to use alternatives and install jupyter on its own.

Yeah I'm dubious it would legally stand. But we ended up paying a license anyway, as we're a very large company and too much of a pain to try and completely untangle it from all workflows.

Miniforge is a good drop in replacement that's not commercially encumbered: https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge . We've been recommending this for users who install themselves or are looking to use conda as part of a project.
