I didn't ask you.
Huh? There's no need to be a dick. Chill out.
kaichanvong's response wasn't the most appropriate either.

For the record, I not only paid my $70, but I lost political capital with my manager for forcing her to purchase seats for all the other engineers on our team who saw how much happier I was because of it. I do not advocate abusing the considerable latitude that Jon Skinner has gifted us. But I do believe that he meant to be as generous as possible with the plausible ambiguity of the word "evaluation" as he uses in hi…
If it was clear that ST2 can make your team happier, then I would expect you to gain political capital for the purchase and not lose it!
You would hope so :(

70 US Dollar equals 643.45 South African Rand. To put that in perspective: R650 is a basic grocery shop for my small family for a week. I have a day job, a baby under a year old, another kid reaching teenagerdom and a bootstrapped startup. My wife works part time. I wish more startups and even more mature companies would build in some sort of currency sensitive sliding scale for their pricing models. I know what a ba…
What's wrong with using the OSS stuff? It's free and that's the price that you want to pay. If more people used the OSS stuff, and helped to improve it then we'd all be better off. By stealing paid software, you aren't helping anyone but yourself. Even simply using the software and asking questions helps to build up the knowledge base. e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/tags/emacs http://askubuntu.com/
Whoa! I don't remember saying that there is anything wrong with OSS products and I'm fairly certain that clicking 'Later' instead of 'Buy Now!' on Sublime Text's nag screen does not constitute stealing... Am I wrong here?

People will always justify this sort of thing - hopefully your startup won't be abused in a similar manner.
I had hoped to get across that I'm really not abusing the developers of this product.
Please correct me if I have misunderstood but not converting to a full fledged customer from a Shareware customer (yet-dictated by circumstances) and with every intention of doing so as soon as I am generating income with the software ...does not a pirate make. Have I missed a beat here?

#75I was hoping for ST3 support, but since the author is running ST2 Unregistered, that's not going to happen soon. Oh well.
Yap :) just donate me some bucks for my work. I will buy ST3 when it will be released.
Re: Sublime Text 2 Web Inspector
#76Not to take away from the package, but I'm somewhat surprised that someone who invested significant work into this is running an unregistered version of ST.
why are you surprised by this? we don't all have $70 lying around
Some day I will buy it :) but I must know that when I bought it I would have all that I need %)

I'm surprised because if you have the ability to create something like this you'd think they'd be able to monetize those skills. Having said that maybe he/she should be given a free license.
I will be glad %)

How many times do you have to click "Later" before it becomes "continued use?"
"Sublime Text may be downloaded and evaluated for free, however a license must be purchased for continued use."

You could of course argue the finer points, but you know if you've passed the "evaluation stage."

Seriously, add a donate button to that page! I'm almost paying you through gittip, but I prefer if you have a default option to it.

My feeling is that the terms are deliberately open to definition.
The developers could quite easily have implemented a counter of some kind should they wish to implement a limit and I certainly would feel no ill will were they to do that at some stage.
I, for one, given my circumstances, am very glad they they have left it open as they have - had I 70$ to chuck at it, I certainly would. When I do, I will.
