Seems like they're going the ST route. I'm kinda disappointed Atom won't be open sourced.
It could also mean they are going the Cloud 9 route (unlimited free public editing, limited free private projects) for the web version, which would essentialy be the same as their current subscription model, while still open-sourcing the editor itself.
Cloud9's open source edition has a few features missing, most notably realtime collaboration.
