Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA CE, and my Labor day weekend - Part 1

If there's one common comparison that every developer faces, it would always be which IDE to use to program x. I'm there now! It's going to be an on going series, but my first "Diff" is an interesting bit on the licensing. I'm trying to create an Android app with the possibility of churning a profit....

Eclipse
+Open Source
+Everyone uses it
+Google recommends it

IntelliJ IDEA CE
+Open Source
+Moderate numbers of users
+Google offers this as a suggestion
-Licensing table for this states for non-commercial use.

Even if you do use IDEA CE to create commercial apps, I'm curious as to how they can find out???
