   This VS Code theme is threatening people?

   The creator of the Material Theme for VS Code, Matia, has accused Zed of promoting the violation of open source licenses. This developer has been criticized for attempting to force others to follow modified licenses and squeezing money out of an old open-source project. The situation escalated as the original repository's history seemed to be altered, and the theme, which was previously under an Apache license, now has different licensing terms that restrict its use. A separate developer community is now looking to continue the theme under its original open-source terms.
