4,407 PointsSo sublime text isn't entirely free
Hi, mostly for legality purposes that I post this since the lessons here in treehouse uses sublime text..I though that this was free like notepad++ but turns out it's not..and quite a price for it almost like buying two PS3 games. So, I can't really use this application unless I pay for it's license right?

In other words, unless you're a professional developer or representing a business, you should be fine to use the unlicensed version for as long as you'd like. However, you should certainly consider buying a licence in the future to support the developers :)
Hope that answers your question!
