Live-share usage in a commercial setting?
Opened this issue · 0 comments
I install live-share into VS code and share my work. So far this seems permitted in a commercial setting. Then I share the link with someone, if you paste the link into the browser you end up after some re-directs on vscode.dev with the shared session. This is great, what is not great is the surprising disclaimer that this service may be only used in non-commercial setting.
The Work around is to copy&paste the link into a running VS Code instance and Join the session. However there is a high risk that an employee pastes the link and is un-intentionally violating the terms of use of the vscode.dev web-page.
Questions:
- shall our IT block this website?
- is it possible to get a link which is safe to use in a commercial environment without additional fees?
What was your system configuration?
Product and Version [VS/VSCode]: VSCode 1.89.1
OS Version[macOS/Windows]: Linux
Live Share Extension Version: v1.0.5918
Target Platform or Language [e.g. Node.js]: anything
Steps to Reproduce / Scenario:
- live share
- click copy link
- https://prod.liveshare.vsengsaas.visualstudio.com/join?4BF9735100797F8F0E3C...
- redirected to https://vscode.dev/editor/liveshare/4BF9735100797F8F0E3CDA6
- https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/legal/terms-of-use
- See: "Unless otherwise specified, the Services are for your personal and non-commercial use. "
Expected Solutions - pick any
- configuration option to not use the redirect to the MS hosted vscode.dev instance, may be a link to our own instance?
- clarification that this is permitted
- self hosted live-share server which does not use MS webservices which are not permitted for commercial use
