04/12/2018, 7:38 PMIf somebody want to start an Open Source project based on Kotlin/Native (and possibility some multiplatform features), it would be interesting to know the upcoming IDE (https://kotlinlang.slack.com/team/U3SK5B492) will be free of use for that use case because I think this is a key point for adoption by the Open Source community. Any chance to have some info about that?

I do have it setup so that I can just push a button in the toolbar as well but I prefer the terminal. I also have a pretty nice setup using VSCode. A lack of a free Kotlin/Native will not hinder me.

I am wondering if JetBrains could at least provide free licenses for Open Source projects like for IDEA for an IDE that allows to develop for Kotlin/JVM, Kotlin/JS and Kotlin/Native without limitations. To compete with Go and Rust that matters.

@sdeleuze we provide OSS licenses for all our products and I don’t see this changing moving forward, neither for existing products nor for any potential new ones.
