Re-licensing theia-ide/vscode-builtin-extensions

Motivation

The Theia framework is an Eclipse Foundation project. We believe that it would be beneficial to move, under the Eclipse Foundation, some of the peripheral repos that have grown under the theia-ide GH organization, that are related to Theia. Among these is theia-ide/vscode-builtin-extensions:

License: none stated, so relicensing of the repo to the same License as Eclipse Theia will be necessary.

contributors

A raw list of all contributors to the repo can be obtained, running the following command on the latest master branch of the repo:

git shortlog -sne

As of 2020-10-05, this is what we get:

$ git shortlog -sne
    19  Anton Kosyakov <anton.kosyakov@typefox.io>
    11  Marc Dumais <marc.dumais@ericsson.com>
