Is it allowed to use the Language Servers in Neovim

[cybersorcerer]

I am working on using Neovim (my favorite Editor) for z/OS development. I have already successfully integrated various z/OSMF Rest APIs, like jobs, files, datasets into Neovim lua extensions. Neovim is an LSP client out of the box and can be configured to talk to LSP compliant servers. Is it legal to configure Neovim to talk to the Language Servers provided with IBM Z Open Editor?

Thanks in advance and regards

Unfortunately not, as it would violate the licensing terms. You could contact IBM sales to start a discussion with our product management team about how you could purchase it for modified license terms.

Hi Peter,

Thank you for your answer! Very disappointing though and i do believe it's a bad move from IBM! Toolchains are very important to get new talent onto the platform anyways it is as it is
