Ask HN: Is the Zed editor open source?
I downloaded a binary release from https://zed.dev/releases/stable and I'm presented with LONG license agreement.
I'm particularly alarmed by this section:
> 2.2. License Limitations > > You agree that You shall not: (a) exceed the scope of the licenses granted in Section 2.1; (b) make copies of the Editor; (c) distribute, sublicense, assign, delegate, rent, lease, sell, time-share or otherwise transfer the benefits of, use under, or rights to, the license granted in Section 2.1; (d) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to learn the source code, structure or algorithms underlying the Editor, except to the extent required to be permitted under applicable law; (e) modify, translate or create derivative works of the Editor; or (f) remove any copyright, trademark, patent or other proprietary notice that appears on the Editor or copies thereof.
This weirded me out because
1. the source seems to be available on github
2. the github pages list three different licenses (GPL, AGPL, Apache)
3. nowhere on the website it is stated that Zed is proprietary software
Needless to say, the "License Limitations" seem to contradict the terms of AGPL and GPL.
Hence the question: is Zed actually Open Source (or even Free Software) ?
Is the binary off the website some blob with stuff I'm not supposed to know about? Is this one of those vs-code/vs-codium situations?
