And this is important because existing Sublime Text licenses are only valid for the beta. When 3 exits beta then everyone will have to buy the upgrade.

Not true. They have been selling Sublime Text 3 licenses for a while.

"A license is valid for Sublime Text 3, and includes all point updates, as well as access to prior versions (e.g., Sublime Text 2). Future major versions, such as Sublime Text 4, will be a paid upgrade."

That's interesting, when did it change? There's no upgrade pricing available (yet?) and my ST2 licence still works.
If you bought ST2 license before the release of ST3 beta, I think you might need to pay for an upgrade once the final version 3 is released.

At some point during the beta release, they started selling ST3 license instead of ST2 licenses.
