[directory-discuss] Are "community editions" acceptable entries?

[David Seaward]

Hi all,

I was thinking of adding an entry for "PyCharm Community Edition", the
Apache 2.0 licensed version of the PyCharm Python IDE. There is a
proprietary version with extra features called "PyCharm Professional
Edition".

I have picked up (somewhere) that it is preferred not to endorse
software applications where there are free and non-free versions with
the same name. Does this rule of thumb apply on FSD?

If not, common sense suggests that I only link to the GitHub repo at
https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/tree/master/python and
not to: the PyCharm website, support forums, and other places that
offer and link to both versions. Any other gotchas to watch out for?

Similar logic would apply to Chromium, VirtualBox and others so a
final word on this would be appreciated (even if the conclusion is
that these things need to be handled on a case-by-case basis :D ).

Thanks,
David
