IntelliJ IDEA – Open Source License for jME Users
July 29, 2010 in Uncategorized
We recently had our open source license for IntelliJ IDEA renewed. Previously we’ve informed interested users through a rather obscure forum thread. I figured more people would be aware of this offer if we made a news item out of it. To anyone interested, here’s the free, ultimate edition license for this commercial IDE, available per-request to committed contributors to jMonkeyEngine.
Update: There seems to have been a slight misunderstanding among some users. This is not a license for the jMonkeyEngine! jMonkeyEngine, both v2, v3 and everything else residing in the official repository, is freely licensed under the ‘New BSD License‘.

What information do we need to include in the email? Do we need to have a specific project in mind, when applying to receive our license?
