Targeting the enterprise client, Visual Studio Enterprise does not disappoint when it comes to the feature set. Advanced code editor with IntelliSense technology It encloses both the Ultimate and the Premium editions, which will be no longer developed separately. The Enterprise edition of Visual Studio was born with the launch of the 2015 edition of the popular development IDE, becoming part of the highest tier available for download and purchase. It addresses the commercial environment, providing the tools, services and options required to work on complex, high-scale projects. VSCodium exists to make it easier to get the latest version of MIT-licensed VS Code.Visual Studio Enterprise is the most comprehensive edition Microsoft offers, delivering much more than the individual developer needs. If you want to build from source yourself, head over to Microsoft’s vscode repo and follow their instructions. These binaries are licensed under the MIT license. 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. The VSCodium project exists so that you don’t have to download+build from source. Therefore, you generate a “clean” build, without the Microsoft customizations, which is by default licensed under the MIT license When you clone and build from the vscode repo, none of these endpoints are configured in the default product.json. 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 we build Visual Studio Code, we do exactly this.

According to this comment from a Visual Studio Code maintainer: 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.
