Aptana Studio Community Edition includes the Pro plugin and a Pro Trial License key that works for the first 30 days after you install Studio. If the 30 days have passed and you'd like another chance to try the Pro features, please .

Any code you write and own copyright to, which is not a work based on Aptana Studio or Jaxer code, can be distributed in any manner under any license. However, for example, if you create and distribute a combination of your own code with Aptana Studio or Jaxer, or you otherwise create a work based on an Aptana product, then the whole work must be GPL'd or you must obtain a separate license from Aptana.

You can change any of Aptana Studio's or Jaxer's GPL'd source code and create derivative works as long as everything you add or change is all licensed under the GPLv3 and made publicly available.

Aptana wants to make our products available to everyone, and we want to continue to make the source code available and encourage outside contributions.

By adopting a dual license model, Aptana can remain open source and encourage the freedom of development and contribution that has made us who we are. In addition, it makes it easier to use our software in situations where the GPL is not an option.

The dual licensing model sustains both innovation and growth. If a company sells a version of Aptana Studio or Jaxer, or a work based on it, and cannot contribute the code back to the community, we ask that they contact us for a commercial license. On the other hand, developers that want to create better open-source software can continue to do so under the GPL and ensure that everyone benefits from each other's contributions.
