Interesting. Does Sublime come with the source (how is it licensed?) when you purchase it?

No, it is closed-source with an open plugin API that you can use to extend it.

I believe Sublime's source is open source but not for re-selling. You can use it 100% free but it has a popup asking you to upgrade to a license once every few weeks or so.

This is incorrect. Sublime's source code isn't published at all (or even leaked). You are correct that you have use it for free with a nag window, although this is against the license beyond an unspecified "evaluation period".

It's not open source, did they change that?

it is closed source, and ST4 is what made me remove VSCODE from my laptop.. 120 megs vs 1.2 gb of ram...

ST4 is a complete VSCode killer.
