JetBrains earns my respect by letting you actually purchase the application, and still download it 5 years later.

I have purchased updates to IntelliJ, but it is good to know that I don't have to, and my access won't be restricted.

Wait what? Holy maccaroni you're right!

So I don't HAVE TO pay the license every year! That's good to know if I ever have to reduce my bills.
