We will open source the code in the GitHub Copilot Chat extension under the MIT license, then carefully refactor the relevant components of the extension into VS Code core.

For example, that someone could fork it and make it use a local or self-hosted LLM instead. Yes I know, other alternatives exist (Continue extension) but aren't that good.

I wouldn't hate that. I've been meaning to try some AI extension to add to my VSCodium install to talk to my self hosted AI instance.

It would be fun to compare it to a de-microsoted extension
