VSCode is not if installed with binaries.

Are you saying that the VSCode binaries are not built from the exact source that is available? Or that the opensource license doesn't apply to the version of VSC that is distributed via binaries?

I'm using VSCodium myself anyway, but I'm also installing it from binaries (precompiled packages), as is the case with most opensource software I use.

Does that have anything to do with SECURITY?

The train of logic has run way off the rail in this thread.
