This article will help you understand the difference between what we refer to as Products and what we call Redistributable Products in our Toolbox Subscription Agreement.
JetBrains has its flagship line of products that we sell for a fee. These are integrated development environments (IDEs, which work similarly to MS Word in the sense that you use them to write and analyze text (code). Examples are IntelliJ IDEA, Rider, and dotMemory. You can see more details about our product line on our website.
Redistributable products are mostly independent modules or standalone products that add extended functionality to the IDEs. They are provided free of charge. Here are a few examples:
Our redistributable products are mostly APIs or SDKs. Some of them help you collect profiling data on applications running in development or end-user environments, which can then be analyzed in our IDEs.
JetBrains’ IDEs and redistributable products are primarily designed to be used by you to develop your own programs, algorithms, and analyses with the aim of selling such work later. The restrictions in the Toolbox Subscription agreement are primarily targeting cases where you would be making a profit on the sale of our own tools.
