Some seven years in the making, the Eclipse Foundation's Theia IDE project is now generally available, emerging from beta to challenge Microsoft's similar Visual Studio Code editor, with which it shares much tech.
I have a vague recollection that the Eclipse Public License 2.0 isn’t great, but I don’t recall exactly how or why, and I don’t know offhand how it compares to the MIT license that VSCodium and VSCode are under.
Not sure how EPL compares with stuff like MIT license in practical terms. Generally, I’m not a huge fan of permissive licenses because they facilitate freeloading by corps. GPL is the best approach in my opinion because it requires that any forks or improvements stay open.
