On what basis are you claiming Zed is shady? I seek evidence, not feels.

If you don't understand the contract language, it seems rather presumptuous to make that kind of claim. See what I mean?

If you want to make a _relative_ claim, then I have to ask: have you read the licenses of VS Code, JetBrains, Cursor, WindSurf?
