Description
Hi,
On your website https://platformio.org/platformio-ide it is mentioned
It's built on top of Microsoft's Visual Studio Code – free, open source, and MIT licensed editor
This is factually incorrect. While the GitHub repository of VSCode is MIT Licensed, the version distributed by Microsoft isn't. See https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/supporting/faq
Please update your website so that it won't mislead users.
Regards,
Shashank V M
