VSCode - Visual Studio Code uses a proprietary Microsoft license for the compiled product, allowing free use for development, testing and commercial applications. The source code (“Code - OSS”) is under the MIT license. You can use VS Code freely for any purpose, including commercial projects, but some bundled extensions or specialized components (connections to the Microsoft servers and marketplace) may have different terms. Most extentions in the Marketplace use the MIT license.
VSCodium is a fully open source alternative that removes Microsoft’s proprietary components and built-in telemetry. However its extension marketplace is less complete.
