Let me follow up with our legal team to see why that's in there. Sometimes there is a good "legal" reason for these terms that are not quite obvious to the rest of us.

To the earlier comment, we have gotten a lot of feedback in regards to the sign-up to Atlassian Account. The fact is that you always required a license, so you had to sign-up anyway. But we took the license away and streamlined the sign-up into the product (yes, there are issues with people behind firewalls that we will have to address).

Personally, I don't think requiring an account is asking too much for a free product and down the road it will help us to provide a more seamless integration for people who use other Atlassian tools as well.

Cheers, Jens

I had a license, changed nothing, and your upgrade wants me to go waste 10 minutes to-and-froing to get on some new marketing database. Sorry, not cool. I feel like your company ruined a great product I was very happy with.

Atlassian have become (probably always were) a horrible, customer-hostile company. This is terrible.
