Ok so it is not going closed source, they are just going to extend it as they need to drive Zed features. Totally understandable for an in-house UI framework, this is why you’d build one yourself anyway. I can imagine maintaining backwards compatibility, doing releases, writing documentation and growing a community around it is a considerable distraction from their product work.
