Does anyone know how that works ? I'd be open to seeing what is the internal communication. Will the Russian employees be in furlough ? Will they cut access ? How is the business supposed to move forward ?
Russia looks set to remove trademark protection and has already removed patent protection from JetBrains (along with basically the entire west) - could be related to why now rather than earlier: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2022/03/09/russia-al...
It's not about trademarks, patents or licenses. JetBrains made a public statement against the war in Ukraine, now they fear for the safety of the employees left in Russia.

Being in a rough neighborhood, "founded in Prague, Czech Republic, 22 years ago" their position about Russia's "special military operation" is more than the usual vapid posturing by entities with little or no skin in the game, but you would think they would have thought about their vulnerable employees still in Russia before publicizing that position. Makes me wonder what else they might do purely for "political" rea…
Here is the repository for IntelliJ [1]. It has an Apache 2.0 license. That is - by any definition - FOSS.
It’s clear you have some form of agenda with “political reasons” mentioned. Why not stop being coy and spell it out?

If Russia wanted to double down on cyber attacks, kidnapping some senior dev families and forcing them to compromise JetBrains could be something they might try. I don’t even know what else to use for c++ dev, JetBrains tools are so far ahead of everyone else. Visual studio is so unpleasant to use and needs resharper to be usable

Realistically I don't think there is a chance of that happening. Jetbrains was based out of Moscow (they are a Russian company IIRC) but now they have offices around the globe. If Russia tied doing this, JetBrains would immediately cut off access to those offices/workers and probably sound the alarm to the media on what is going on.
