    Gotta love the use of quotes here:

    it should be treated with “utmost importance.”

    In other words, ignore this message from our lawyers.

    Shucks… Maybe if the college didn’t rob the students blind on tuition, and the publishers not rob the students blind on books, maybe they could afford to pay for software licenses. 🤷‍♂️

      Not only shitty, it’s dumb. Even Adobe knows to give students hefty discounts. It’s how they get new users on the hook.

        I’ve been using Jetbrains products for free in college and I can say that it is the best advertisement. I bought it the day after my student license expired.

        Ehh even when I was in school I used foss like blender and gimp. I’ve never had an actual copy of 3dsmax, Maya or photosoup. Been plenty productive with that my entire life.

    As a french, please don’t give a penny worth of licence to Dassault Systèmes. They were founded by some of the worst ennemy of the people my country made.
