Can you cite the passage that authorizes Zed to modify the terms without the user's consent? Before I retired, my job was, inter alia, writing software licenses. I was GC for a tech company. I'd like to validate what you're saying, bc I'm the author of a Zed plugin and I wrote a language grammar that another plugin uses.
I don't use Zed, but I occasionally consider switching.

You can even see this in action: https://zed.dev/blog/terms-update https://zed.dev/blog/terms-update When new terms come out, you're forcibly signed out of the Zed service and have to agree to new ones before using the service again. It's most likely the case that this clause was written so that someone using the service, when offered new terms, can't say "nah, Imma stick with the old terms" and then claim Zed aren't allowed to revoke the license.
