## Summary This moves the remaining first-party AGPL surface to GPL, a less restrictive license for these components. Apache-2.0 components are unchanged. Changes: - Updates the `collab` crate from `AGPL-3.0-or-later` to `GPL-3.0-or-later` - Removes the root AGPL license file and first-party crate AGPL symlinks - Updates web, documentation, Flatpak, README, and terms references to reflect the GPL/Apache licensing split - Updates the open-source component example list in the terms and regenerates the RTF copy; no other terms changes are intended - Adds guardrails so first-party crates cannot declare AGPL licensing or carry `LICENSE-AGPL` files Release timing: preview during the week of June 1, 2026; stable during the week of June 8, 2026. ## Residual AGPL/Affero references - `LICENSE-GPL`: GPLv3's own compatibility clause; unchanged official license text. - `crates/json_schema_store/src/schemas/package.json`: generic npm package-license schema value, not Zed licensing. - `script/check-licenses`, `script/new-crate`, `script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml`: guardrails that reject or warn against reintroducing AGPL. ## Verification - `script/check-licenses` - `script/generate-licenses` - `script/generate-terms-rtf` - `script/new-crate license_probe_for_gpl`, then discarded generated crate - `script/new-crate license_probe_for_agpl agpl` fails as expected - `mdbook build docs` - `./script/clippy` - `git grep -n -I -E "AGPL|Affero"` - `git diff --check` Release Notes: - The `collab` crate, used to implement Zed's collaboration backend, is now licensed under the GPL instead of the AGPL. The AGPL license is no longer used in the zed repository.
