Hi VS Code PM here 👋
It looks like the deepnote extension incorporates code from the VS Code Jupyter extension which uses MIT license. MIT requires preservation of the copyright notice and license text in derivative works. Removing all references to Microsoft from the LICENSE file does not comply with those terms.
Let me know if I misunderstood something. Or feel free to reach out to inikolic@microsoft.com so we discuss this more.
Thanks
