I don't mind this too much, to be honest, though I would prefer it if they open sourced it with licence based restrictions.

They're not open sourcing Pylance, which has some really nice features. The ones I mainly use are the semantic highlighting (it colours variables etc based on their type), and the auto imports (wow, I didn't realise how much I missed that).

However, those are just sugary extras, the real benefit is the typescript based type analysis. This can be had using the open sourced pyright extension.
