I find it interesting that the change comes on the brink of Jetbrains releasing their new *commercial* product YouTrack. The IDE market is down to 3 players - eclipse (yawn), netbeans (getting better every release) and intellij.
I assume Jetbrains is still continuing to sell TeamCity enterprise licenses (its easy to move beyond the free 20 builds I find) and Resharper licenses, and now I guess their hedging sales of YouTrack to bring up any shortfall introduced by lost sales of people going to IC (and I guess they'd rather people use free software from themselves, rather than move to Eclipse and Netbeans). It'll be interesting to see how things play out - I'm just glad that I won't have to give up using IntelliJ if I ever find myself not in a position to pay for it (or get someone to pay for it for me).
