closed(cursor/cursor holds only .github, README.md and SECURITY.md

Cursor is a fully proprietary commercial product: the public cursor/cursor repository holds only .github, README.md and SECURITY.md, with no license, no language and no editor source, and its Terms of Service state that Anysphere retains all right, title and interest in the Service. None of the editor runtime is published, so there is no public core for a gating question to apply to.

  • https://cursor.com/terms-of-service recorded 2026-10-08

    The Terms of Service reserve the product to the vendor: "Anysphere and its licensors shall own and retain all right, title and interest in and to the Service" and "Anysphere reserves all rights to the Service not granted in these Terms." Its use restrictions bar any attempt "to derive or gain access to the source code, object code or underlying structure of the Service", so the source is not published.

  • https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cursor/cursor/main/README.md recorded 2026-09-29

    The repository README is a pointer to the vendor site with no build or source instructions: "Head over to [our website](https://cursor.com/) to download Cursor." Searched the body for source, build, license and contributing: none.

Adoption

4 high confidence
4.0

Cursor's adoption is read from the daily active users and revenue that press coverage of company figures reports. Because that is a daily count read against a monthly scale, the true monthly figure is likely higher, so this reading is a floor rather than a ceiling.

  • https://research.contrary.com/company/cursor recorded 2026-09-29

    The profile reports "As of December 2025, it had over 1 million daily active users, powered 50K businesses, and achieved 9,900% year-over-year ARR growth."

  • https://www.cursor.com/ recorded 2026-09-29

    The homepage gives enterprise positioning and no user count: "Trusted by over half of the Fortune 500 to accelerate development, securely and at scale."

Capability

4 medium confidence
4.0

Cursor's Background Agent works alongside a mature editor and agent experience, and its SWE-bench Verified result is just below OpenHands on the same leaderboard. That figure comes from a third-party aggregator rather than a primary publication.
