Why's that? It depends how frequently a major release happens. If it stays at "4.x" for 5 years, I'd way rather have the "tied to a single major version" lice

- matsemann 5y agoThat's the problem, though. The old model gives Sublime weird incentives, where they would be better off bumping major version more often to force people to upgrade. Or push features back until next major. And if they don't do, they are basically working for free for a few years.
- jhawk28 5y agoIf it stays 4.x for 5 years, it is effectively tied to a single major version. You get all the updates for that major version.
- amatecha 5y agoThat's not what OP quoted though -- the new licensing model says you get all updates for 3 years (regardless of version number). So with the new license model, let's say v4.7 gets released at 3 years and 1 day, you won't get the v4.7 update. Whereas if the license was tied to major version, you would get 4.7 and onward, until the dev decides to call it 5.x
