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.

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
