VSCodium exists to make it easier to get the latest version of MIT-licensed VS Code. If you want to build from source yourself, head over to Microsoft’s vscode repo and follow their instructions. 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. Installing VS Code If you saw amd64 when you ran the previous command, click on the button that says 64 bit in the. Therefore, you generate a “clean” build, without the Microsoft customizations, which is by default licensed under the MIT license 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. When we build Visual Studio Code, we do exactly this. The namespace already contains a definition for class name netcoreapp1.0. It seems that we might get build of Visual Studio Code for Windows ARM in 'near future'.

According to this comment from a Visual Studio Code maintainer: Windows ARM64 Install Windows ARM64.NET Core SDK (NOT x86) Steps to reproduce. 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.
