[IDEA] Warning: Change of Terms of Service for Anaconda Python Repositories

In February 2022 Anaconda updated their "Terms of Service": [https://www.anaconda.com/terms-of-service](https://www.anaconda.com/terms-of-service).
This means that Anaconda is now requiring **commercial organizations** to purchase licenses/subscriptions for their Python **Repositories**.

- Both the Python Anaconda individual installer and the Miniconda installer are not affected by this change of the Terms of Conditions. The Python Anaconda or Miniconda installers are still free (including the basic python modules supplied with the installer).
- However, under the new Terms and Conditions the usage of the Python Anaconda **Repositories** became licensed. This means that updating and installing modules from the Anaconda repositories requires a license. Also creating local conda environment using packages, that are downloaded from the anaconda repositories, is not allowed without a valid license. In fact: every conda command that accesses the anaconda repository requires a license.

As a consequence, my company (Philips) has decided to abandon all use of Anaconda repositories and to switch to Miniforge [https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge](https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge) instead.

As far as I see all Jupyter notebooks of this project are running without difficulties using the "conda-forge" repository in place of Anaconda.
