Again neither of those links indicated usage that violate TOS beyond being a major competitor.

They indiacte their development staff are using it, and they access it via API, then then go on to say all the nefarious things they "could" be doing, stopping before stating they actually are.

Specifically the TOS violation was:

>customers are barred from using the service to “build a competing product or service"

So if you are building a competitive product, that alone is a TOS violation from their perspective.

Which is fine and their prerogative, but we shouldn't cast a dark cloud suggesting other violations were happening without stated evidence.

OpenAI publicly stated they can't "trust that xAI will use it within terms" not even that they've violated, not that there has been a violation from the Cursor team.
