[WeissShahaf]

dear devs,
The Anaconda company recently changed their Terms of License to ask license fee to academic and non profit organisations.
please reconsider the latest change of installation docs from mamba to conda. https://www.theregister.com/2024/08/08/anaconda_puts_the_squeeze_on/

Hi @WeissShahaf,

From my understanding (and this reddit thread), this just affects the defaults channel of conda packages maintained by Anaconda.

In the upcoming 1.4 release, we're recommending Miniforge in the updated installation instructions.

I think we have very few dependencies on the defaults/anaconda channel, but we can definitely review our usage of those. All our new packages are largely just depending on conda-forge anyways so that should make the transition easier.

If you run into any issues related to this licensing play let us know!
