The VS code is in fact based on open source code. This is not an open source license and the difference is only in the software build process.Ĭhris Dias, Microsoft developer of the VS Code project, makes a comparison between VS Code and, for example, the Chrome browser and its open source upstream project, Chromium. However, when you download the VS Code application from Microsoft, you will find that your download is licensed under Microsoft License.

Like all open source software, the VS Code source code is available on GitHub.
