Hi Jacques, editors/vscode is based on the source available at the Microsoft's GitHub repository: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode VSCodium is also based on the Microsoft's source but it is with a set of patches for removing tracking-related codes and with an alternative branding. If you would like to use VSCode without being tracked by Microsoft, please see the following URL: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/telemetry On 2021/02/07 18:25, Jacques Foucry wrote: > Hello Ports, > > I look at editors/vscode and I it surprising me that the base is the Microsoft > version: > > > SHA256 (vscode/microsoft-vscode-1.52.1_GH0.tar.gz) = 4a2b4e3500bff73503322fc3a68099ec4151d3e800cf2bb6e9478f2e94637b6a > SIZE (vscode/microsoft-vscode-1.52.1_GH0.tar.gz) = 11792551 > > On the vscodium website we can read: > > "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.
