The only reason I no longer pay for a license to Sublime Text is that it's not available on my OS. Them either supporting more OSes (a lot of work!) or making it open source would at least cause _me_ to buy a license again.

They don't even have to make it "open source", keeping a proprietary license such that it's just "source available" would be fine with me too.

Edit: Hilarious to get down voted for this comment.

What OS are you running, then?

Linux, MacOS and Windows are all supported. I don't know a lot of commercial software that is cross-platform beyond those three.

Some variant of BSD probably...

OpenBSD

This discussion isn't about "a lot of commercial software", it's about Sublime Text. There world is not all Linux, MacOS and Windows.

I'm aware Sublime Text isn't available for OpenBSD (There's a FreeBSD package but last I checked it was broken)

I'm just letting the developers know, there's interest outside of those OSes.

Curious which OS are you using for development, since Sublime provides official versions[1] for macOS, Windows and Linux.
