   CLion Is Now Free for Non-Commercial Use

   CLion, a JetBrains IDE for C and C++ development, is now available free for non-commercial use. This initiative is in line with similar changes made to other JetBrains IDEs to support learners, hobbyists, and open-source contributors. The full IDE features remain accessible under this license with the exception of the 'Code With Me' feature. Non-commercial use includes learning and hobby projects, but a commercial license is still needed for commercial projects.
