This is pretty cool. I've got a couple repos that Microsoft uses for VS Code. I switched one of them to GPLv3, but maybe I'll switch the other to this license.
Thats pretty good! I havent found anything of the source code being available but I am in a hurry so I skimmed through it fast.
Even proprietary software can be "open source", you just wouldn't have any freedom to use that code without paying.
