Eclipse foundation has a new project, Theia[1], which forks VSCode and one of the reasons they state is that the extension ecosystem is not opensource.

They want Theia to be a tool to build your own editor and it can be built as a hosted solution (like code-server) or a standalone editor

Edit: I see that the article also mentions Theia but this point about Theia vs VSCode is not mentioned.

The beauty of open source. Take code written by others rename and call it an alternative to the original product.
