    Except this isn’t money going to a FOSS project, it’s money to some guys whose only keyboard is StackOverflow’s The Key.

        Vscode is released under a MIT license and the Continue extension is released under Apache. Neither is copyleft, so the forked codebase doesn’t need to be open source

          Ah you’re right. Blame Vscode for using MIT. Maybe now is a good time to tell them to change it to GPL, so this can’t happen again.

        Right, exactly, which is why they launched with a FOSS license. Oh, wait–

        Imagine the money going to VSCode which actually is the one getting contributions

          If you’re upset, just ask them for the source. If they don’t respond, sue.

          In any case, we’re all going to get the source and we’ll all benefit from this.
