Publish extension to Open VSX

[TyMick]

Would you mind publishing this extension to Open VSX in addition to the Visual Studio Marketplace? Open VSX is a vendor-neutral open-source registry that can be used by any editor or IDE that supports VS Code extensions, whereas VS Marketplace's Terms of Use requires that the Marketplace and any extensions it distributes only be used with Microsoft products.

Here's Open VSX's publishing instructions. It looks like a pretty easy one-time process:

1. Log onto their site and create an access token.
2. Use their ovsx CLI to create a namespace.
3. Claim ownership of the namespace.
4. Add an ovsx publish command to your publishing script.

Alternatively, if you give this project an open-source license (I'd be happy to make a PR to add one if you let me know which license you prefer), I can add this repository to Open VSX's extension-publishing CI, and you won't need to worry about publishing it yourself. 👍🏼

@tywmick I did not know about Open VSX, and seems pretty neat. I added the open-source license, and I will give it a shot at adding Open VSX. Give me few days to a week or so.

Hey there @jeremychone 👋!

I work on Open VSX and would like to chime in here. If there's any trouble or questions you have about publishing or Open VSX as a whole, let me know. Would love to see the extension on Open VSX!

hi @filiptronicek I need to look at it, i am remote right now, but will try to work on it in end of August / early Sept. This is definitely something I would like to do. Thanks for ping me back.

Hi @jeremychone! I'm interested in downloading this on Open VSX as well! Any chance you can revisit it?

[jeremychone]

@kaylareopelle Sorry, I forgot about this one. Actually, I thought about it every few month, and then got busy.

I put a MIT license on this project. So, feel free to do a pull request.

Note: Right now, the copyright is on Briteboard, one of my side company, but I will probably reassign to me soon.

No worries! Thanks, @jeremychone. I made a PR to add the extension to the marketplace: EclipseFdn/publish-extensions#692
