While this is "based on" the open source codebase of VSCode, it's very much unclear from the project page which features and dependencies aren't open source or even free-as-in-beer (..and may require a paid subscription, enterprise plan purchase, premium account, etc).

I.e., where they are making money off of this.

One clear indication that there are strings attached is that they're bundling a specialized GenAI assistant with the IDE.

Wish it was made clear in the FAQ. It doesn't cover this at all.
