Developer Toolbox: JIRA Personal License

March 1, 2009 by Jim · Leave a Comment 

Tonight I was digging around on the Atlassian site and for some reason just noticed they offer free personal licenses for many of their products.

JIRA

  • three registered users with full access and unlimited anonymous visitors

Confluence (wiki)

  • two registered users with full access and unlimited anonymous visitors

Main restriction is the number of users (noted above) and that it needs to be used for personal reasons.

Community and Open Source
They also have a free “Community & Open Source” license available which rocks. Community licenses are designed for organizations which are:

  • non-profit,
  • non-government,
  • non-academic,
  • non-commercial,
  • non-political and
  • secular

The Open Source license has very few restrictions as well:

  • Established code base
  • Publicly available project website
  • Using an approved open source license
  • Your JIRA instance will be publicly accessible

I’ve been really impressed with JIRA and Confluence at work.    If you want a suite of top notch products to manage your personal files or Open Source project I’d certainly check out Atlassian.
