I use TM for Ruby development essentially, so I'm more interested in a TM "product" as opposed to TM source code. Will it be possible to still buy TM and install it as a dmg? I would rather buy TM than compile my own version from source. Frankly, TM is really worth paying for.
Definitely, the auto-updater will continue to work and you can download a fresh copy (to bootstrap the process) from https://github.com/textmate/textmate/downloads
Right now the builds do not require a license, but that may change, as I still consider TextMate commercial software. I just allow people to study and change the code as an added bonus (and hopefully TextMate will benefit long-term from community activities, at which point we may reconsider how we should go about “selling” it).
Kind regards Allan
