Note that an open-source VSCode extension that provides a C/C++ language server and which is suitable for use with forks like VSCodium, already exists and has for a while:

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for sharing this link. The Eclipse CDT Cloud project [1] has been working in this area for a while and many of us have long waited for Microsoft to show its teeth on enforcing its license for their proprietary extensions. This is part of why open-vsx exists as a place to install properly licensed extensions. The cdt cloud project has fully configured third-party IDE based on Theia that integrates extensions to support C/C++ that don't suffer from Microsoft licensing problem.
Note that the change at Microsoft does not affect VSCode users, but it would be great to get VS Codium and Cursor involved with the CDT Cloud project as their users are highly affected.
The next CDT Cloud regular meeting [2] is this coming Monday - perhaps @Philip Langer<mailto:planger@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> can add it to the agenda if you would like to come along to help us explore this area.

Hi everyone,
Coming across this article [1] — "Microsoft to remove C/C++ extension from VS Code Marketplace" — it seemed worth sharing with the community.
This situation might represent an opportunity for Eclipse CDT.
If an open-source C/C++ extension were developed, similar to what has been done with JDT for Java, it could potentially attract some interest.
What do you think?
It would be great to hear your thoughts and whether you see this as something worth exploring.
Best regards,
Thomas
