About

The software industry must provide users with the means to trust code including code published on the Internet. Many webpages contain only static information that can be downloaded with little risk. Some pages, however, contain controls and applications to be downloaded and run on a user's computer. These executable files can be risky to download and run. Packaged software uses branding and trusted sales outlets to assure users of its integrity, but these guarantees are not available when code is transmitted on the Internet. Additionally, the Internet itself cannot provide any guarantee about the identity of the software creator. Nor can it guarantee that any software downloaded was not altered after its creation. Browsers can exhibit a warning message that explains the possible dangers of downloading data of any kind, but browsers cannot verify that code is what it claims to be. A more active approach must be taken to make the Internet a reliable medium for distributing software.

About

Microsoft’s vscode source code is open source (MIT-licensed), but the product available for download (Visual Studio Code) is licensed under this not-FLOSS license and contains telemetry/tracking. The VSCodium project exists so that you don’t have to download+build from source. This project includes special build scripts that clone Microsoft’s vscode repo, run the build commands, and upload the resulting binaries for you to GitHub releases. These binaries are licensed under the MIT license. Telemetry is disabled. Note for Mac OS X Mojave users, if you see “App can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software” when opening VSCodium the first time, you can right-click the application and choose Open. This should only be required the first time opening on Mojave. The most up-to-date information on migrating from Visual Studio Code and other quirks you might encounter are documented.
