I think I need to get a commercial license for Anaconda following their recent license changes. I was curious though, does accessing the conda-forge repository necessitate the need for a commercial license since it is a community repository? Or does that only apply to the main anaconda repositories? I haven't been able to find information about this.

Conda forge is not covered under the terms of service, so you're free to use that repo without restriction. So the new commercial license only applies to the main Anaconda repositories.
Commercial Edition includes a security token to access and download Anaconda-curated packages and installers from our commercial repository. With a site license, Commercial Edition also includes the right to mirror the commercial repository.
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.
conda-forge is a community effort that tackles these issues: All packages are shared in a single channel named conda-forge . Care is taken that all packages are up-to-date. Common standards ensure that all packages have compatible versions. By default, we build packages for macOS, Linux AMD64 and Windows AMD64.
I got an email from the support with the following information.
