Just an FYI for people - The Remote Development extensions are not open source. I'd hope if Facebook were joining efforts, they'd do so on a more open project.
MS edited the licensing terms many moons ago, to prepare for VSO (Visual Studio Online = VS Code in browser using these remote extensions/apis that no one else can use)- https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/48279
Finally, this is the thread where you will see regular users being negatively impacted by the DRM (a closed source, non-statically linked proprietary binary downloaded at runtime) that implements this proprietary-ness: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/10... (of course, also with enough details to potentially patch around this issue if you were so inclined). Further, MS acknowledged that statically linking would help in May, and yet it appears to still be an issue.
I just hope they don't come after Eclipse Theia...
It's the Open Core business model that is becoming the standard Open Source business model these days. Wikipedia even has a nice little list of companies that use the same business model:

It's not EEE. The open core makes it so that the last step in EEE doesn't work. With an open core, anyone can fork.
