Apache-2.0, full source public for the IDE extensions and CLI; no feature-gated core in the editor itself (a hosted Hub exists alongside but the assistant is OSS). Continue has since been acquired by Cursor; the vendor states the open-source codebase remains freely available, and no pricing page is linked any more.

  Repository root listing read for this dimension. The tree is actions, binary, core, docs, eval, extensions, gui, manual-testing-sandbox, media, packages, scripts, skills, sync - there is no `ee/`, no `enterprise/`, and no second license. `extensions/` holds cli, intellij and vscode; `packages/` holds config-types, config-yaml, continue-sdk, fetch, llm-info, openai-adapters and terminal-security. The repo license endpoint returns Apache-2.0.

  The one thing in this repo that looks like a gate, read directly rather than assumed. Continue does ship an "Enterprise License Key" - `continue.enterEnterpriseLicenseKey` in extensions/vscode/src/commands.ts and an AddLicenseKey action in the IntelliJ extension. But the whole validator is published Apache-2.0 code in this file, and the signed payload it verifies carries only `customerId`, `createdAt`, `expiresAt` and an `apiUrl`. The key is read from MDM-managed OS configuration (a macOS plist, a Windows registry path, a Linux json file), and its effect is to point the client at an enterprise control-plane URL. No client feature is switched on by it - nothing in the extension is compiled out, withheld, or refused without one. That is the langchain shape, a paid platform beside a complete open core, not the langgraph shape of a closed package behind a key.

  The vendor's own site now leads with Continue having been acquired by Cursor and states "our open-source codebase remains freely available as a foundation for others". No pricing page is linked from it any more, and https://www.continue.dev/pricing returns HTTP 404 - so there is no live paid tier left to withhold anything for.
