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
