this affects, say, our monthly give away, etc.  That said, some of you  
may find this interesting.

> JetBrains is pleased to announce its next step in supporting the  
> open source community. Starting with the upcoming version 9.0,  
> IntelliJ IDEA will be offered in two editions: Community Edition -  
> free and open-source, and Ultimate Edition, which until today has  
> been referred to simply as IntelliJ IDEA.
>
> Developers can download the *Community Edition* for free, check out  
> its sources, build it and contribute to it. Community Edition has  
> all the crown jewels of IntelliJ IDEA: various refactorings and code  
> inspections, coding assistance, debugging, TestNG and JUnit testing;  
> CVS, Subversion and Git support, as well as Ant and Maven build  
> integration. Community Edition is the perfect choice for those  
> working on pure Java/Groovy applications or doing Swing development.
