    One does not need to purchase a license if they use conda package manager only with conda-forge channel. I received this answer from Anaconda customer support via email on February 27th, 2023.

    This can be achieved by creating a file ~/.condarc with the following contents:

    channels:
    - conda-forge

    You can check the active channels by running:

    conda config --show channels

  1. Are Conda, Miniconda and Anaconda free to use and open-source?

  3. Anaconda (Python distribution) - Wikipedia

  4. Anaconda users should check if they need a commercial license

  5. People also ask
    With a site license, Commercial Edition also includes the right to mirror the commercial repository. Commercial Edition also brings you into compliance with Anaconda’s Terms of Service for the duration of your subscription. How is Anaconda sustaining the open-source community?
    Just make sure that you actually read that and understand what they consider commercial use. Just using Anaconda to make money doesn't necessarily mean you need a commercial license. How do you define commercial usage? We clarified our definition of commercial usage in our Terms of Service in an update on Sept. 30, 2020.
    TL;DR The answer is no, none of these are free for commercial usage since 2020. Anaconda is a commercial distribution of Python with the most popular machine libraries libraries preinstalled (numpy, scipy, MKL, etc...). Anaconda itself is not free and not open-source.
    Note that the code itself for the packages in Anaconda may have other licenses, which may be more or less restrictive. For instance, most of the packages are BSD or similarly licensed, which is less restrictive.
