VSCodium exists to make it easier to get the latest version of MIT-licensed VS Code. But after using it for a couple of weeks, I started to notice that my original VSCO keys layout was close, b. I hadnt used VSCO Keys for long at that point, but I knew it was going to be a real time saver. If you want to build from source yourself, head over to Microsoft’s vscode repo and follow their instructions. A recently wrote a first look review of VSCO Keys that you can find HERE if you missed it. These binaries are licensed under the MIT license. This project includes special build scripts that clone Microsoft’s vscode repo, run the build commands, and upload the resulting binaries for you to GitHub releases. The VSCodium project exists so that you don’t have to download+build from source.

Therefore, you generate a “clean” build, without the Microsoft customizations, which is by default licensed under the MIT license I just downloaded it and installed it on my mac. When you clone and build from the vscode repo, none of these endpoints are configured in the default product.json. We clone the vscode repository, we lay down a customized product.json that has Microsoft specific functionality (telemetry, gallery, logo, etc.), and then produce a build that we release under our license. Hey guys, Ive just rebuilt VSCO Keys to add support for Lightroom Classic CC on OSX.


When we build Visual Studio Code, we do exactly this.
VSCO KEYS OPEN SOURCE WORK CODE
According to this comment from a Visual Studio Code maintainer: Microsoft’s vscode source code is open source (MIT-licensed), but the product available for download (Visual Studio Code) is licensed under this not-FLOSS license and contains telemetry/tracking.
