This is indeed a very odd choice - its the only OSS package I have ever come across that requires product activation in this way, and it really is asking for a fork of the IDE. One can see the motivation. But the competition in this space is surely Python, and that is free as in air.... Its living a bit dangerously. Forking is one of the main reefs out there in this particular ocean. The inability to use protected plug-ins is an interesting and quite significant feature. Presumably the reason is that there is an ability to incorporate them or some of them into programs one has written which would have to be released under GPL, but the plug-ins would be incompatible with it?
