This might have changed since I last looked into it, but last I checked
the only difference between the OSS project and the MS-distributed
builds is a list of URLs for extension repositor(y|ies), telemetry
server(s), etc. Source builds will likely not have the extension repo or
anything online, unlike Chrome/Chromium where Chromium still has access to
the webstore and Google integration.

See
https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/60#issuecomment-161792005,
though things may have changed since 2015 when that was written.

I think it would be better to engage with upstream to fix the issue.

Check out the RFN section in the OFL license and IBM's license grant.

  Description : IBM's corporate typeface

Meet IBM Plex, our new corporate typeface. It’s global, it’s versatile
and it’s distinctly IBM.

We designed Plex carefully to both meet our needs as a global tech company
and express who we are as people. It took two years and a lot of work to
get here, but today we have a signature typeface we’re proud and excited
to share with the world. Plex is an open-source project (OFL) and free to
download and use. The Plex family comes in a Sans, Serif, Mono and Sans
Condensed, all with roman and true italics. The fonts have been designed
to work well in user interface (UI) environments as well as other mediums.
This project provides all source files and file formats to support most
typographical situations.

I will need a sponsor and will be posting an RFS to the appropriate
package.

Bug#899261: ITP: qasm-simulator-cpp -- C++ quantum circuit simulator with realistic noise

[Enrique de la Torre]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Enrique de la Torre 

* Package name : qasm-simulator-cpp
  Version : 0.5.1
  Upstream Author : QISKit Development Team 
* URL : https://qiskit.org/
* License : Apache-2.0
  Programming Lang: C++
  Description : C++ quantum circuit simulator with realistic noise

QASM Simulator is a quantum circuit simulator written in C++
that includes a variety of realistic circuit level noise models.
The simulator may be run as a command line application to
evaluate quantum programs specified by a Quantum program OBJect
(QObj). It is part of QISKit (Quantum Information Software Kit),
developed by IBM.

The simulator is currently distributed as part of open source
QISKit Python SDK. By making it into a Debian package, I will
be able to integrate it in other frameworks like QISKit Swift
Framework. Also, if we simplify the installation process, it
will be a lot easier for other developers/researchers to use it
with different purposes.

The package is already under development here:
