Hi Jacques,
editors/vscode is based on the source available at the Microsoft's
GitHub repository: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode
VSCodium is also based on the Microsoft's source but it is with a set of
patches for removing tracking-related codes and with an alternative
branding.
If you would like to use VSCode without being tracked by Microsoft,
please see the following URL:

Hello Ports,
I look at editors/vscode and I it surprising me that the base is the Microsoft
version:
SHA256 (vscode/microsoft-vscode-1.52.1_GH0.tar.gz) =
4a2b4e3500bff73503322fc3a68099ec4151d3e800cf2bb6e9478f2e94637b6a
SIZE (vscode/microsoft-vscode-1.52.1_GH0.tar.gz) = 11792551
On the vscodium website we can read:
"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. According to this comment from a Visual Studio Code
maintainer:
When we [Microsoft] build Visual Studio Code, we do exactly this. 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 you clone and build from the vscode repo, none of these endpoints are
configured in the default product.json. Therefore, you generate a “clean” build,
without the Microsoft customizations, which is by default licensed under the MIT
license"
So I would like to know whiich code base is used to build editors/vscode.
I'm really happy with my vim IDE configuration bur everybody talk about vscode
and I would like to try it without being tracked by Microsoft.
Thanks for your time and your answer.
