From what I can tell from the official VS Code site by Microsoft they no where say that it is a fully open source piece of software. Infact they say "Free. Built on Open Source. Runs Everywhere" So they are saying it is "Built on Open Source" which means something completely different to me.

"Built on Open Source" is in the same vein as putting "Made from natural ingredients" on a cereal box. It's meant to make the product sound better for you than it actually is.
