On their FAQ page they state that their app is 'public source'. I assume that is so you (or presumably your organization) can audit (rather than debug) it if necessary.

I've not tried it, but they also suggest you can compile your own binaries from that source to get around the untrusted binary problem.

IINAL, is that an incorrect reading?

IANAL either but I agree, that is a statement of copyright which is not unusual, but there is no licence and therefore we have no right to copy & use it.

We are granted a license to use it on GitHub by the GitHub ToS.

They give permission to compile on the website. Otherwise you would be correct.

sounds like https://referencesource.microsoft.com/license.html
