Is this an Amazon product? When I click on "Legal" at the bottom of the page, I'm sent to AWS.

The docs state at https://kiro.dev/docs/reference/privacy-and-security/#servic... that "Kiro is an AWS application that works as a standalone agentic IDE."

But nowhere on the landing page or other pages it states that this is an Amazon product.

What is going on?

Edit: I see that @nathanpeck is the "author" and he works for Amazon, why are they trying to hide that fact?

How are they hiding it?

Click about, says its made by a team within AWS.

Click on any of the legal links in footer, get sent to AWS

Look at the footer, has AWS logo

Look at the license, clearly says "Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates"

On the download page "By downloading and using Kiro, you agree to the AWS Customer Agreement"
