The Jetbrains model needs a simple, catchy name so that more companies can be inspired to choose it. Perpetual subscription?

The "JetBrains model" is how all software used to work. You... buy the software. And then maybe you get free updates until the next major release. If you buy the next major release then that's another "12 month subscription".

JetBrains calls it a perpetual fallback license.
