Isnt vscodium a specific product built strictly from open-source VS Code source code? It's not affiliated with Microsoft, they simply build from the same base then tweak it in different ways.
This is somewhat unlike my understanding of Chromium/Chrome which is similar to what you described.

- bityard 9mo agoYou might be misunderstanding, you said in your comment: > I believe Microsoft builds VS Code releases by building VS Codium, and then adding in their own branded features This part isn't true, MS and VSCodium both build their releases upon https://github.com/microsoft/vscode https://github.com/microsoft/vscode, but MS does not build VSCodium at all.
