You should avoid Zed editor.

The Zed editor team openly promotes the violation of licenses between open-source and closed-source software. Even when faced with evidence (and their demonstrated incompetence), they shamelessly claim they have the power to decide and interpret licenses as they see fit, completely disregarding the actual text of those licenses.

Furthermore, they show no concern for the harm caused to companies despite their position. It is clearly a corrupt system to its core, likely run by inexperienced individuals who have no respect for others' work — the kind of people who think open-source means "I do whatever I want."

This industry is embarrassing. After 20 years I still fight against people who can't even read a license file.
