You Can Now Disable All AI Features in Zed

FWIW, we plan to sell "enterprise" builds of Zed with SSO, centralized plugin repositories, business-hosted infra, etc. etc. The sorts of features developers don't care about but businesses do. To do that, we have to be able to re-license the codebase and apply these changes. We have a lot of other ideas for business sustainability but the core, offline code editing experience will always be freely available and open source though :)

Hey - I'm the founder of WorkOS. Happy to chat about the playbook we see with OSS projects spinning-off a commercial offering. It's pretty common and we work with a lot of these businesses, enabling them to continue investment in the ecosystem too. [email protected]

I don't really expect you to respond but if this is true why not use a CLA that guarantees the code stays open source? The FSFE FLA exists and is prominently used (though optional) by KDE.
