A Senior Developer working mostly with PHP and JavaScript, with a bit of Python thrown in for good measure, all on Linux. My tooling is simple, it's GitLab and JetBrains where possible.

It's not cut-and-dried.
See i saw the part:
The commercial part drove my view
So this means i can't use it right?
Reach out to the actual Dev.to team and see what they say. They may limit requests, or be able to license it.
I'm not a lawyer, but if you don't ask, you can expect to get cut off at any point.
Okay thanks
