Microsoft's build process (which we are running to build the binaries) does download additional files. This repo exists to make it easier to get the latest version of MIT-licensed VS Code. If you want to build from source yourself, head over to Microsoft's vscode repo and follow their instructions. These binaries are licensed under the MIT license. The build scripts in this repo clone Microsoft's vscode repo, run the build commands, and upload the resulting binaries to GitHub releases.
This repo exists so that you don't have to download+build from source. Therefore, you generate a "clean" build, without the Microsoft customizations, which is by default licensed under the MIT license When you clone and build from the vscode repo, none of these endpoints are configured in the default product.json. We clone the vscode repository, we lay down a customized product.json that has Microsoft specific functionality (telemetry, gallery, logo, etc.), and then produce a build that we release under our license. When we build Visual Studio Code, we do exactly this. According to this comment from a Visual Studio Code maintainer: Microsoft's releases of Visual Studio Code are licensed under this not-FLOSS license and contain telemetry/tracking. When we speak of "free software", we're talking about freedom, not price. This repository contains build files to generate free release binaries of Microsoft's VS Code.
