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." http://www.sublimetext.com/buy You could of course argue the finer points, but you know if you've passed the "evaluation stage."

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.

If they put a hard limit on "continued use", what would it achieve?

Probably a few more sales, but at the cost of forcing some current users to stop using their product (if they can't afford the full version yet), or waste time jumping through anti-DRM hoops -- I've known people who are constantly setting their computer clock back, or tinkering with the Windows registry, or... all kinds of silly things so they can keep using an expired trial version of some software.

If they can keep those users on the trial version (and earn some goodwill as well for their flexibility), eventually some of them will be in a better financial or mental situation (whichever variable needs to change!) and will pay the license fee.

If they start the user down the path of battling DRM, or being forced to stop using their software, in either case they're starting a conflict.

So it's a business (and human) decision; they want to stay on your side even if you are pushing their internal definition of "continued use".

Huh? There's no need to be a dick. Chill out.

kaichanvong's response wasn't the most appropriate either.

Fair comment. I apologise for that.

The point still stands that I don't understand what he was asking :)

That looks very interesting, but typing several lines of text rather than speaking them is painful to sit through. I would suggest turning off the music next time and just tell people what it is and how it works.

Or skip the screencast altogether and just write step-by-step instructions.

At least mention what the default hotkeys are, and what will/should happen when you hit them. On Linux, after hitting CTRL+SHIFT+R, I just get the option to launch Chrome. I come back and hit CTRL+SHIFT+R again, and it's the same option.

I don't think english is his native language… At least there was a screencast showing off the features

From the demo code: $scope.Russia = true I'm guessing Russian

Yap you right, but this is geographic variable :)

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 %)

Thanks to @Raynos!!! He bought a license for me!

You don't have a fundamental right to his program. The rise of the Internet hippy is painful to watch.

Nope, you're right. But he also has no fundamental right to get paid for being the first to magnetize his hard drive in a certain configuration.

He absolutely does. If you make something, you have a fundamental right to decide how it gets used.

I am having the same issue, have you figured out how to solve it?

Hey do you know why it isnt working on linux?

"On Linux, after hitting CTRL+SHIFT+R, I just get the option to launch Chrome. I come back and hit CTRL+SHIFT+R again, and it's the same option"

and the console shows: Created new window in existing browser session. [Finished in 0.4s]
