When the final version of TM 2 (Mac OS X version with installer) gets released, do I have to purchase a license key? Will it work for free (without any ads and pop-up reminders etc)?
It is commercial software and a license can already be bought and entered in TextMate → About → Registration. Some more info here http://macromates.com/license_policy
What conditions future releases will run under (without a license) is undecided. One idea I like is to only offer the built-in updater to licensed users, OTOH I dislike the thought of having people use old builds (when newer versions exist).
