Anaconda DistributionFree download for students and hobbyists. (Not compliant for commercial use.)
Anaconda created a stir over a year ago when it began charging large commercial users a fee for access to its popular collection of Python tools. The change, it said, was necessary to offset the costs of maintaining a large and increasingly complex body of open source software.
Anaconda® Professional provides access to a repository of packages or tools which are licensed on an open source basis from third parties (including binary packages of these third party tools) (the “Repository”).
Anaconda is a distribution of the Python and R programming languages for scientific computing (data science, machine learning applications, large-scale data processing, predictive analytics, etc.), that aims to simplify package management and deployment.
Anaconda itself was completely free, even for commercial use, until April 2020.
Since then, you need to buy a commercial license if you make commercial use of their repositories at https://repo.anaconda.com or the anaconda channel on https://anaconda.org. The term commercial focuses on larger companies requiring more bandwith than a single OSS developer or scientist.
Read more about the details in the new Terms of Service or the Anaconda Commercial Edition FAQ.

The full EULA can be found here, and is also included in the installer (you must agree to it before installing Anaconda).
The gist of it is that you can use Anaconda however you want (including for commercial use). You only need to attribute it with something like "Powered by Anaconda".
Note that the code itself for the packages in Anaconda may have other licenses, which may be more or less restrictive. For instance, most of the packages are BSD or similarly licensed, which is less restrictive. A few are GPL or LGPL, which are more restrictive. There is a list of the licenses of the Anaconda packages here.
