This isn't a bad idea. Maybe there's a way ST could hedge their risk ("if we hit a certain threshold, we'll publish the source"). I also would back it and spend more than the ~$200 or so I paid for ST2, ST3 and Sublime Merge 2. They are 2 of my absolute favorite tools. I wonder how much SQLite makes. Could be a model to emulate. That being said, definitely not something to rush into. If this is only a little risky for them now, I expect it won't be risky at all in a year or two, given trends in new business models for creators.
