Note - we primarily make use of Gemini CLI, which is very promising, but have made pretty extensive trials as Claude Code.

Anthropic hasn't changed their licensing, just enforcing what the licensing always required by closing a loophole.

Business models aside - what is interesting is whether the agent :: model relationship requires a proprietary context and language such that without that mutual interaction, will the coding accuracy and safety be somehow degraded? Or, will it be possible for agentic frameworks to plug and play with models that will generate similar outcomes.

So far, we tend to see the former is needed --- that there are improvements that can be had when the agentic framework and model language understanding are optimized to their unique properties. Not sure how long this distinction will matter, though.
