You're stretching what "paid with" means (just like with the meaning of "open core"). I'll step out of this conversation now.

Feel free to ignore me. But let me explain:

VSCode does not work at all for me without the "Remote SSH" extension. And the "Remote SSH" extension is proprietary and DRM-ed to be not work with the open source code.

I don't see how I'm stretching what "open core" means. This is just like any other open core stuff.

"Paid for" part, yeah you are right. I thought the orange site all agree I paid for Gmail, just not with money, but turns out I'm wrong.
