The company can't use IntelliJ Community?
I navigate the red tape and upload the zip file containing the IntelliJ Community to our Nexus IQ server for security checking. There was a dependent on this strange repo, which has an AGPL licence, according to the report created by the analysis of the zip file.
The organisation can no longer utilise IntelliJ, according to information security, because the AGPL mandates that code be open-sourced. Now that I'm puzzled, I can't find anything on the internet that claims IntelliJ actually has this reliance or that using it for business purposes is not permitted.
Is the security check inaccurate? Is the AGPL licence irrelevant? Can I persuade my business that using IntelliJ Community for commercial purposes is acceptable in some way?

According to a "hover over" on this comparison page (toward the bottom under the License section, hover over the "i"), "Community Edition is free to use for personal and commercial development. The IDE and most of it bundled plugins are open-source, licensed under Apache 2.0."
Hello Jontyroad2023. You can use IntelliJIDEA Community for commercial development with two exceptions related to creating derivative products or commercializing the Community IDEs. Please, see this article in our Knowledge Base for the details.
