The free license has not been removed.
Did you actually read the underlying resource[1] or am I missing something? It just requires for-profit or government organisations (with over 200 employees!) to purchase a commercial license.
Seems more than reasonable tbh. I can see the "government organisation" being tricky though.
What is the exact problem you are identifying?

there will always be a free version of Anaconda for individual hobbyists, academics, non-profits, and small businesses
- Macha 5y agoThe free license has been severely curtailed. There are many organisations with >=200 employees which might have <=5 developers. In addition, while the client remains open source, the repository (which is almost as important for a package manager) is where the payments are enforced, and also unlike most code repositories, prohibits mirroring[1] https://www.anaconda.com/terms-of-service https://www.anaconda.com/terms-of-service
- mellosouls 5y agoPerfectly fine to charge commercial organisations that can employ multiple devs, I don't see what the issue is for those .
- Snitch-Thursday 5y agoI've not read the resource either, but it sounds like (from only reading your and GP comment) Anaconda moved something from free-as-in-freedom to free-as-in-beer-as-long-as-non-commercial. Which is reasonable enough to me.
