After launching its Atom text editor into beta back in February, GitHub on Tuesday announced that the software is now fully open source under the MIT License. “Much of Atom’s functionality is provided by packages, and every Atom package has been open source since the day we launched the beta,” explained GitHub developer Nathan Sobo. “Today, we’re open sourcing the rest of Atom, which includes the core application, Atom’s package manager, and Atom’s Chromium-based desktop application framework, Atom Shell.”
