E-texteditor and open source

Yes, is somehow true. E-texteditor goes open source. Or something like that. From Alexander blog post i extracted this:

  • The source will be made available in few days;
  • Even though the source will be public, the software will not be.. free. Licensing code will not be public
  • Yes, there will be (finally!) a linux version. Which will be free :)

I can only hope that the TEAM will work on three aspects: stability (a lot of bug fixes), speed (sometimes i encounter some “slow motion” when i open large files; also, on old computers will simply… won’t work) and networking (FTP client can be better than that). Also, a 64 bit version would be nice :D

Let’s wait and see the evolution of the new Open Company.

One thought on “E-texteditor and open source

  1. Intype is catching up with e-texteditor very fast and might overtake it.

    The only thing is Intype seems to be a hobbyist type project while e-texteditor sounds like someone who wants to make good money while @ the same time a good product.

    I think that is one of the reason e is going open source. I just hope he spreads the wealth to his contributors.
