Windsurf doesn’t appear to be FOSS. A central goal of the Fedora Project and Fedora Magazine is to promote Free and Open Source Software.

Ok, understood.

I also cover Cursor which isn’t FOSS, and I’m not sure the extensions will be either. No worries; I’d written it for a team talk and thought it might be welcome here so just proposed it :slight_smile:

I might go back and consider it all from a VS Codium point of view, and see whether any FOSS assistants work with it. Appreciate the feedback.
