I'm wondering, technically you're supposed to buy Sublime Text. Are you just running the (infinite) trial version of Sublime, are you purchasing a license for every laptop, or do you have some kind of sponsoring by the guy behind Sublime?

Same question goes for Minecraft.

I'd love to offer free licenses of ST and am working on a way to do that. Until then, the trial will suffice for a lot of kids, and pre-installing it means they can easily try it out. But yes, a better long-term solution is needed.

Github's atom might be a good long-term solution when it becomes more stable.

Absolutely, and I mentioned that in a different comment. I'd love to provide Atom on our laptops.
