VSCodium exists to make it easier to get the latest version of MIT-licensed VS Code. The Status bar indicator shows the Binary size in bytes.

I wasnt sold on having an Electron-based editor to begin with but VS Code was substantially. Source: Marketplace The color syntax for the hex file in the editor helps to view the various fields of the HEX file.

#VS CODE BINARY EDITOR LICENSE#

The binary distribution has a separate license to allow telemetry and protect Microsoft trademarks and stuff. binary releases of VS Code without MS branding/telemetry/licensing MicrosoftвЂ™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. If you want to build from source yourself, head over to MicrosoftвЂ™s vscode repo and follow their instructions. Visual Studio Code is an immensely popular editor and likely the most common recommendations to new developers. These binaries are licensed under the MIT license. This project includes special build scripts that clone MicrosoftвЂ™s vscode repo, run the build commands, and upload the resulting binaries for you to GitHub releases. The VSCodium project exists so that you donвЂ™t have to download+build from source. Therefore, you generate a вЂњcleanвЂќ build, without the Microsoft customizations, which is by default licensed under the MIT license VS Code calls out to your extension when it needs to create a new custom editor instance and cleans up the editor instances and document model when the user closes their tabs. When you clone and build from the vscode repo, none of these endpoints are configured in the default product.json. VS Code handles the lifecycle of both the view component of custom text editors (the webviews) and the model component ( TextDocument ). If you are familiar with vi, just start the editor and begin to edit A bmore programm is also included in the package. 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. The bvi is a display-oriented editor for binary files (hex-editor), based on the vi texteditor. When we build Visual Studio Code, we do exactly this.

According to this comment from a Visual Studio Code maintainer: MicrosoftвЂ™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.
