Jira OnDemand for non-profit organizations

[Jan Lender]

I've learned from https://www.atlassian.com/software/views/community-license-requestAtlassian Community Licence can't be used for Atlassian OnDemand. So is it true a non-profit organization can't use OnDemand Jira unless it purchase a commercial licence?

Yes, though with OnDemand you're not purchasing a license, you're subscribing to a service. The Community License is only available for download products.

How about a discount for non-profits?

Atlassian does not offer any discounts. You can review the Purchasing and Licensing FAQ for all details - https://www.atlassian.com/licensing/purchase-licensing#pricinganddiscounts-3

Hi,

This is a rather old thread and I wanted to update with some changes Atlassian has recently made this month regarding this topic.  Please see https://www.atlassian.com/licensing/purchase-licensing#licensing-7 for more details.  From that page:

7. What are the conditions for an Atlassian Community License? How can I apply?

Atlassian is happy to provide free Server (self-hosted) licenses for registered charitable non-profit organizations which are non-government, non-academic, non-commercial in nature, have no religious affiliation and that would not otherwise be able to afford Atlassian software.

Beginning July 1, 2019, Atlassian offers Community Cloud licensing at 75% off list price. Please note that Community Cloud pricing includes Atlassian core products and Apps, and does not include third-party Marketplace Apps, Trello, Bitbucket, Opsgenie, Statuspage, or Jira Align.

You can apply for Community Licenses by completing our Community License Request Form.

So while Community Cloud licensing is not free, there are significant discounts now available for non-profits that meet the criteria listed there.

I hope this helps to update and clarify available licensing options.

Regards,

Andy

You say Atlassian doesn't offer any discounts, but right there at the link you sent me to, I see:

"Academic pricing is available to qualified academic institutions for Atlassian's server products." 

And elsewhere: "Qualified open source projects can receive free subscriptions for Atlassian Cloud offerings." 

So right there are two discounts for your cloud products. I'm not sure I understand why rich universities would qualify, but not a struggling nonprofit publisher of news and information about the K-12 education enterprise in the US (unlike universities, decidedly not rich, and getting hammered all the time by cynical policymakers).

Server products are not cloud products. Cloud is free for qualified open source projects, however.

Paul - guess it's time for edweek to fork an open source project. ;-}
