It appears that if you just use conda and the packages from conda-forge (ie. non-commercial packages), then that will remain free:
conda, the software program for package and environment management, is free to use by anyone. > It’s open source, too.
The conda-compatible packages in conda-forge, Bioconda, and almost all other publicly accessible channels are free to use by any one.
That said, this is dated Aug 29, 2023, so who knows if that still applies?
My colleague sent me this Is conda Free?.
