That restrictive license refers to the build, at best. The vscode source is under MIT at github, there is no need to reverse engineer the build and the license of the build won't affect the license of the source code.
- djsumdog 8y agoI mean, even Mozilla doesn't let you release binaries with Firefox or Thunderbird branding. Gentoo can get away with it because you're building/using it locally, but when Debain wanted to place Firefox into their package build system, they had to rename it Ice Weasel.
- aoloe 8y agoThat's not true. Mozilla did not want (even slightly) modified versions of Firefox or Thunderbird to be labelled as such. The issue has been solved and, currently, Debian has renamed its package back to Firefox. On top of it, this has probably nothing to do with this topic. (copyrights and branding being very different topics)
