VS Code binary is vscode plus custom package.json which configures telemetry, gallery, logo, etc. and therefor has a custom license. Similar to Chrome & Chromium, Oracle JDK & OpenJDK, Xamarin Studio & MonoDevelop, etc. [1]
Seems fair play to me.

- sundvor 8y agoGreat link, clear cut answer which ought to settle the whole question.
- SloopJon 8y agoI was curious about what comprised the "etc." A little further down in the issue you linked, chrisdias said, "You can look at the product.json that is installed with the Visual Studio Code product to see what we configure." I don't really know how to interpret this file, but the copy in VS Code 1.23.1 for Mac has 644 lines, compared to 23 in the repo.
- icegreentea2 8y agoIt's 644 lines long because a lot of your post-install configuration is stored in there. You'd want to compare a fresh install VSCode vs fresh install self build.
