Research direction
Start by locating the release process and the current extension-pack definition. Check how the existing pack includes IntelliCode, then determine how a second variant could be produced without it. Done means the repository releases an installable free variant alongside the current pack with the requested licensing constraint addressed.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Suggestion
A version without IntelliCode.
Use Cases
Usability of this extension pack in environments that are not eligible to use that specific extension - which is the only one of the set that isn't MIT-licensed and "may [be] install[ed] and use[d] [...] solely with Microsoft Visual Studio family of products".
Examples
Just adjust the release process to create another extension next to the current one, possibly "vscjava.vscode-java-pack-mit" or "vscjava.vscode-java-free" or similar.
Alternative
The much better alternative would be to adjust the license of VisualStudioExptTeam.vscodeintellicode, at least to explicit allow installation and usage with any vscode based product, or even better to allow unlimited usage. But I have no illusion that this is going to happen...
