Gram is a hard fork that removes the TOS, telemetry and AI, and turns Zed into just a text editor.
Age requirement. You must be 18 or older to use Zed’s AI-enabled software-as-a-service offering (the “Service").
The link you sent basically says "you pinky-promise that you're 18."
Later in the doc it also says "you promise not to send malware."
This type of age "identification" is a lot different than age verification, submission of ID, etc.
> You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service (Zed’s AI-enabled software-as-a-service offering, including features like account creation/sign in, Zed Free and Zed Pro, and collaboration). See https://zed.dev/terms#21-eligibility. We set the threshold at 18 due to children's data privacy obligations under COPPA, equivalent international frameworks, and an increasing number of state and regional laws that extend protections to anyone under 18. Those regulations require parental consent verification, age-gated data handling, and separate retention policies for minors. Building and maintaining that infrastructure is a real cost for a small team, and getting it wrong carries regulatory risk. Setting the line at 18 lets us maintain a single privacy framework for all account holders without carve-outs.
Subject to these Terms, Zed will permit Customer to access and use Zed’s AI-enabled software-as-a-service offering (the “Service”), which enables certain additional features and functionality (including artificial intelligence and collaboration features) in Zed’s open source code editing software (“Software”).https://calmatters.digitaldemocracy.org/bills/ca_202520260ab...
YCombinator requires users to be at least 13 years of age. Does that mean HN is going to require age identification? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You’ll grow old before you manage to exit!
