I started working with Jon in Jan 2016, and we did over 20 releases in 2016. You can check out my activity on the forum and the packages repo on GitHub to see some of the public activity. I also tend to hang out on IRC and the Discord server.
Sublime Text has now existed as publicly available for nine years now. In general I think the track record for continued development and improvements is fairly evident if you look.
- CJefferson 10y agoSorry, i didn't know the whole details. But, if Jon decided he wanted to "take his ball away" tomorrow, could you or anyone else make a new release? Don't get me wrong, sublime is a great piece of software. I wish it had, like QT used to, the source in escrow, to be released under GPL or BSD if a nominated independent person decides the software is ever "abandoned". I've been burnt once too often by abandoned software.

I was aware of Qt's early history of being fully closed, but I didn't know it was in escrow like that.

Here's an example of another non-OSS program with source under escrow: https://fman.io/blog/transparency/#open-source-promise https://fman.io/blog/transparency/#open-source-promise
