Probably a copypasta mistake?
Why would they spend money into this extension if 99% of developers can't use it?
- kstrauser 1y agoMaybe, but darned if I'm going to be the one to take the legal risk of installing it.
- Rastonbury 1y agoI'm willing to put good money that MS is not going to sue anyone for using this
- kstrauser 1y agoI am extremely doubtful that they would. And yet, using it under that license is taking the legal risk that they'll act kindly even though they have the right, under the license, to be jerks about it. Is MS going to be a jerk about it? Almost certainly not. Could they if they wanted to? Sure seems like it.
- atmosx 1y agoBecause most people will use it without reading the license, giving them the upper hand when they might needed it? Might sound a but harsh, but we're talking about Microsoft.
- johnfn 1y agoIs there a single example of MS doing something like this in the last 10 years?
- adhamsalama 1y agoVS Code forks like Cursor that use their extensions?
- pier25 1y agoThat's not precisely a developer using the extension...
