Given that the engine driving VS Code (Monaco [1]) is MIT licensed, I'm sure they could. There are already a fair number of cloud-IDE-providers, like StackBlitz, based on Monaco.
As an additional bit of trivia, it seems that Erich Gamma (of GoF patterns fame) had a significant hand in the development of Monaco [2]. There are a number of videos where he takes Scott Hanselman through the tech, back in 2014.
