You got that one wrong.

vscode is open source and released under a MIT license. Then the binaries they build have telemetry and such and is released under another license that is less FOSS friendly.

VS Codium is based on that vscode source code from Microsoft, and i pretty much the same thing, but without the telemetry and such.
