The open-source releases above add the Open VSIX extension registry, but this does not offer the same breadth of extensions. As a result, the Code - OSS source does not include a configured marketplace. However, the terms of use of the marketplace only permit it to be used with the Microsoft branded releases. One of Code's main strengths is its flexible API and rich extension ecosystem hosted on the Visual Studio Marketplace. For more info on the differences between open source and proprietary "Visual Studio Code" branded builds, consult the Code - OSS GitHub wiki. The latter is enforced by a handshake mechanism, and cannot be circumvented. Notably, only the proprietary builds are permitted to use Microsoft's marketplace and use Microsoft proprietary extensions such as the OmniSharp C# Debugger. These different flavors are all built from the Code - OSS repository, but with different licensing and default configurations. Nullifies telemetry in the source code, also ships configuration with Open VSX.
There is also a community-driven, MIT-licensed binary release called VSCodium with telemetry disabled by default. For details on the mixed licensing, see this GitHub comment. Visual Studio Code is a binary distribution of the MIT-licensed Code - OSS repository, with Microsoft specific customizations and released under a proprietary license.
Code is a cross-platform text editor developed by Microsoft, built on the Electron framework.
