Important restrictions

The free editor does not include Zed-hosted AI models. Zed Pro's 14-day trial and its hosted-model token credits are separate, time-limited or paid benefits; own-provider API usage may cost money. Editor source is primarily GPL-3.0-or-later (server components have separate terms); comply with copyleft obligations when redistributing modified software.
