For anyone who is curious (since there was a tad bit of concern about it in the past), here is a link to the core's license: https://github.com/atom/atom/blob/master/LICENSE.md https://github.com/atom/atom/blob/master/LICENSE.md

- donaldguy 13y agoIt seems to be a standard MIT License... like the blog entry says
