What's the licensing for this? I feel very strongly that accessibility technologies must be free/open source software, so that the already disadvantaged community which relies on them can work together on improving them to give each other a leg up, or to adapt it to their specific circumstances.
- shkkmo 7y agoThere is no license listed in the github repos for the VSCode and Atom plugins[0]. As such they are not currently open source. Open source seems like a major advantage with assistive technologies and something that the community should insist on in the products it uses. However, insisting that only free (as in beer) software is acceptable seems to unnecessarily restrict the potential new software that is needed.
