A little nitpicky, but the only proprietary part it requires is the plugin itself, not the IDE—Copilot runs just fine with the Free build of VS Code compiled from source from GitHub, after flipping a switch to enable WIP APIs.

VSCodium provides Free pre-compiled binaries of VS Code from GitHub, like I was describing. What about it makes me wrong?

I did it two days ago, installing the Copilot plugin in a Free build of VS Code provided by my distro.
