Thanks @nabobalis!! That was quick and good. I've added a couple of suggestions.

I introduced not good wording which I'm suggesting to fix it now.

Anything that is "curated, built, maintained, and served by Anaconda's engineers on its secure cloud infrastructure", has these licenses.

So to be very clear.
Using the defaults channel can lead to you becoming legally required to pay Anaconda for the use of `conda` and the defaults channel.

Put this in italic or emphasis instead.

The answer from the SunPy Project is the following:

- Use [miniforge](https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge) which is a `conda` distribution that uses the "conda-forge" channel, a channel that does not have these restrictions.

I think it's worth (somewhere) expanding on what conda-forge is, specifically that it's a community project and it's a bad idea to mix the two?

Though, you could get rid of the default channel(s) using the `conda config` command as shown [in this Stack Overflow answer about switching channels from anaconda to conda-forge](https://stackoverflow.com/a/67708768).
This is good for new environments but it doesn't remove what you've got already installed (e.g., the `base` environment) and you may be still infringing the Terms of Services for Anaconda.

Therefore, the cleanest way would be to remove Anaconda completely and install [miniforge](https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge).

Rather than linking to the shitty miniforge GH page why not link to our install page?

## What is not free to use?

- Anaconda's default channel, which is installed by default when you either install the `Anaconda` distribution or the `miniconda` distribution.

I would reword this to give slightly more context for what the channel is. Rather than saying "installed by default" say something like "where packages are installed from by default".
