I mean, do they think we are idiots? Visual Studio Code is clearly open source with an MIT license.

https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode

EDIT: OH WAIT - I see - they forked at least parts of Visual Studio Code and then open sourced it. In other words -- proving that Visual Studio Code is open source.

None of the code seems to be a fork Visual Studio Code is indeed not open source. If you grab, the binary from Microsoft it is slightly different than the code on the GitHub repository because Microsoft applies some Microsoft-specific things. The extension repo is closed source as well. It has long been a requested feature for open-source extension repository variants.

Code-OSS is open-source however.

So no they do not think we are idiots.
