License for "Visual Studio Code" editor?

On this page below the download links there is a link to the licence, which is some "MICROSOFT SOFTWARE LICENSE TERMS". The product pages also reference it being "Free and open source" and point to a github repo, which has an a LICENSE.txt with the same MS license, but in the README it says MIT. Which license is the correct one for "Visual Studio Code"?

It seems that Microsoft's binary distribution of Code is under the Microsoft Software License, while the source on GitHub is under MIT. There's a more indepth explanation at GitHub.
