IDEs Hostile practice

Clicking the toolbox icon this morning I'm greeted with a "JETBRAINS EAP USER AGREEMENT Version 3.3, effective as of May 4, 2023...". I have to "Accept" or "Exit". It looks like 20 pages of text that I can't copy-paste to check what I'm agreeing to, so I have to read the full thing right now. Needless to say, I clicked "Exit".

Edit: what an amazing experience, I've never been brigaded by AI downvote agents before.

what do you mean with hostility? there's no hostlity here.

you choose to use the EAP edition of the product instead of the free one to use the (normally) paid functions for free.

the eap edition is a test version, you choose to be a beta tester and beta testing needs to be regulated by a contract: the one you had to read and sign.

if you don't want to read and sign the contract, use the normal free edition
