Hi, there is an MIT licensed base version called "vscode" which the proprietary version of Microsoft Visual Studio Code is based, which seems to be getting more popular.
Does somebody know of Free Software re-building or packaging efforts?
Best Regards, Bernhard
== Details https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/60#issuecomment-161792005 "We build on top of the vscode code base we just open sourced and we release it under a standard, pre-release Microsoft license."
"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."
"When you clone and build from the vscode repo, none of these endpoints are configured in the default product.json. Therefore, you generate a "clean" build, without the Microsoft customizations, which is by default licensed under the MIT license"

Found one https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium
Had searched around a while before and did not find something before I've decided to write to the list. So sorry for answering my own post. Found vscodium via https://carlchenet.com/you-think-the-visual-studio-code-binary-you-use-is-a-...
I've seen an Arch initiative for packaging mentioned somewhere as well.
Are there others out there?
