It's exactly the same, nothing changes a MS engineer say "When we [Microsoft] build Visual Studio Code, we do exactly this. 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 you clone and build from the vscode repo, none of these endpoints are configured in the default product.json. Therefore, you generate a "clean" build, without the Microsoft customizations, which is by default licensed under the MIT license".
So vscode and vscodium are the same, but one are really ethical. BTW, the only thing vscodium do not, it's to add to the path the code command.

I did not know about this. Thank you!
