If TextMate 2.0 is not released soon (or doesn't meet expectations), MacroMates is in trouble.

I really wish people would stop complaining about TextMate 2.0, just because it's been talked about doesn't mean the current version stopped working or lost features. I'm a daily TextMate user for nearly 6 years and it has never once not met my expectations. It's first app I install on a new machine/install. Kod is a great start so far, but still has a ways to catch up. I wish the developer the best and that it works…

I totally agree with this. TextMate is the best editor I've ever used, I don't really need a 2.0. That being said, I'm interesting in seeing what exactly will be fixed/new in 2.0, but I'm doing just fine without it and so are many others.

Why'd you skip 10.6? It was $30.

And also a HUGE improvement in a lot of different areas! Speed, especially.

I'd just never gotten around to it... Nothing I used (except Kod and new Smultron) really required 10.6.

Not by you.

So I am pretty sure you have your successful open source story to share. Where you saved the queen, anything green, the oxygen, as we know it - and made millions along the way - while slaying bad guys around. PS. It is easy to spot a clown.

Not quite sure I follow.

Granted it's a one of the most used software on my laptop, it's definitely not at the "never once not met my expectations" level. I don't think I have super high expectations either... I want soft-wrap to happen properly. I could go on with list of needs but it's pointless. I've given up hope that there will be ever an update and learnt to live with v1.x. However, that's just settling. As soon as I find something bet…

Unfortunately, MacRabbit won't be updating Espresso until the first half of 2011 (probably 4-5 months).

You need a story which has millions of dollars, women and open source? - Android.

The intent seems clear to me; "You can't build + sell the app on its own. But, if you want to use a part of the code in your own app, go for it."

Build and use is enough for most people. But of course things would be very ambiguous in terms of how much means "meaningful modification".

Right. What if I make a bunch of publicly released changes* that are then pulled back into the Kod codebase?

* Changes that fulfill this "meaningful modification" provision.

My thought[1] is that your changes are your own, do as you please with them. Thats how I would treat it if I intended to do anything with Kod's source code, at least.
