How about we apply for a free profiler license

[LaFayette]

@frigoref Barring a quick response from @RaiNova , want to take point on acquiring a license?

[RaiNova]

@lafayette I applied just now

[frigoref]

@rainova Keep us in the loop please. What exactly did you have to do to apply? For what license exactly did you apply?

[RaiNova]

YourKit has agreed to grant us the licence:

Hello Raimund,

Thank you for your interest in our products.

We are ready to provide free of charge licenses for your open source project.

To obtain a license, you should place a small free-form text endorsement at the project web site.

The endorsement should contain:

1. The attached YourKit logo and a text that your open source project uses YourKit tools. Alternatively to embedding the logo, you can directly link to the logo hosted at YourKit web site:
   https://www.yourkit.com/images/yklogo.png

2. A hyperlink reference to YourKit web site.

For example:

"
YourKit supports open source projects with innovative and intelligent tools for monitoring and profiling Java and .NET applications.
YourKit is the creator of <a href="https://www.yourkit.com/java/profiler/">YourKit Java Profiler</a>, <a href="https://www.yourkit.com/.net/profiler/">YourKit .NET Profiler</a>, and <a href="https://www.yourkit.com/youmonitor/">YourKit YouMonitor</a>.
"

Best regards,

I can change the file in github (and will post a PR for it). Who can change the start page on triplea-game.org?

@Panther @LaFayette Who can change the start page on triplea-game.org?

[LaFayette]

@rainova https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea-game.github.io/

The webpage is our official home page. I don't know if we really need the endorsement on both the project readme & webpage. FYI there is an endorsement link for install4j already there. Having something that is noticeable but not overwhelming to the rest of the page content would be ideal.

[RaiNova]

@lafayette I didn't find the IntelliJ endorsement link. Where is it, please?

[LaFayette]

@rainova Caution: Intellij != Install4j

[RaiNova]

@lafayette How about an endorsement not on the start page of triplea.org but on the download page?

[LaFayette]

@rainova Hard to say. Arguably it will be clutter anywhere we put it on the existing webpages. Somewhere along with the license is maybe a good place. Maybe we could create a 'sponsors' page that would list it? I don't have good ideas/suggestions for this. To backtrack perhaps on previous comments, perhaps only having an endorsement message on the README is sufficient..
