The main landing page https://code.visualstudio.com for Visual Studio Code currently does the following:

1. it states the offered version is "Free. Open Source." which suggests free software to anyone who knows what the difference of "free" and "open-source" in the common word use is

2. Below it immediately offers download buttons for something licensed under https://code.visualstudio.com/License/ which is absolutely not free software in any modern definition of the word.

Therefore, the website's main page is right now incorrect and extremely misleading, since the advertised version on the main page is not "Free." at all as stated prominently.

I am aware the actual licensing page clears this up in a small remark at the top, but anyone just browsing to the main page and thinking about downloading it is almost guaranteed to be misled, and they might even think they got something under a free software license without realizing by downloading they just agreed to a classic non-free EULA which doesn't respect many basic user rights like disassembling and analyzing the software, or providing the software to others as a hosted solution and other non-free restrictions.

Please fix the labeling on the main page and clearly advertise the non-free version on the website as what it is, and stop misleading users.

Also, this has been brought up before and you have refused to do so, but I implore you to simply abandon this model entirely. All this confusion and naming mess is just because you insist on twisting a free software into some weird proprietary branded spin-off that doesn't add much except a logo. As you can see, all it leads to is confusion, misleading remarks and even borderline false advertising, which is absolutely not worthy of a company that is clearly trying to embrace open-source and free software and getting rid of their old image from the past.

Please note it is possible to write binding trademark / branding guidelines to allow protected use of a name like "Visual Studio" in a free software product by the community, so you wouldn't need to do this just to be able to brand Visual Studio Code nicely.

Edit: the full source of that version isn't available either, is it? It is altered from the GitHub variant after all - so the main download is probably not even "Open Source." in a strict definition of the expression, as strongly suggested by the landing page...
