A big reason why I don't buy sublime despite buying other products I don't use much is that it is not open source. That is a big one for me because even if I wanted to inspect for telemetry or other things, I'm not trusted to do so.

Purchase it if that bugs you. Not everything is freeware.

How is purchasing going to make it open-source?

Unless the "it" there is Sublime HQ Pty Ltd. That'd get you the source.

The original comment was changed. Originally author was saying they hate the reminder in Sublime. In that case purchase a licease. The comment now says they want open source only.
