Jetbrains products are only partially open source, which makes them non-free and still spyware due to telemetry we can’t see.

> Jetbrains products are only partially open source

You mean the repository at [0] contains code which is not licensed under an open source license? The only license mentioned at the root is Apache 2.

Do you have a reference for "Jetbrains products are ... spyware due to telemetry we can’t see."

That's the "beauty" of phrasing it like that. It's impossible to prove or disprove.

It is packed in a small teapot orbiting the sun somewhere between Earth and Mars.

If the source code of what you are running is not fully available, assume it contains telemetry or data collection.

I assume every stranger that calls me is a scammer. That does NOT mean that everyone who calls me IS a scammer.
