VSCode was likely open sourced at all (in a limited way) because they were legally required to, having decided to use LGPLd WebKit/Blink; and their use of V8/Electron probably promoted this as well, even though that wasn’t mandated by the Apache/MIT license.
However, it is quite clear now that it is not because they want to “support the open source / free software world”. (And to some of us, this has been clear since day 1)
“New Microsoft”... if you believe that, I have a bridge to sell.
