    How does that make you allowed to violate the terms of service for the VS marketplace? A URL pointing to it doesn’t mean you suddenly are allowed to use it in a fork. The license just means you can copy that string of text. It doesn’t give you permission to do anything with it.

      Just skimmed the link, and from what I understand the legal document prohibiting use of their marketplace did not exist in 2017 (or I am wrong and it took 5 years for someone to dig it up from Terms of Use).
