Sure, it'll be wiped on upgrades (I would think), but it does seem a little strange that Atom makes it so easy to edit the contents of all of its licenses. Not sure about the best way to handle this - maybe just opening the Markdown Preview version (assuming it's not disabled), and falling back to a buffer if it is disabled? Is there another way we can prevent saves?"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/atom/atom/issues/comments/97809919","html_url":"https://github.com/atom/atom/issues/6552#issuecomment-97809919","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/atom/atom/issues/6552","id":97809919,"user":{"login":"izuzak","id":38924,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/38924?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/izuzak","html_url":"https://github.com/izuzak","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/izuzak/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/izuzak/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/izuzak/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/izuzak/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/izuzak/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/izuzak/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/izuzak/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/izuzak/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/izuzak/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":true},"created_at":"2015-04-30T14:09:14Z","updated_at":"2015-04-30T14:09:14Z","body":"@mnquintana Can you explain what problems exactly this ability to edit the license might cause? What @mark-hahn said makes sense to me, but I noticed that you didn't clarify why you thought this was a problem in your issue report and would love to hear that (especially related to what @mark-hahn said). Also, would you consider this a problem if you download Atom's source, change the LICENSE, and then build it? If not, what's the difference?"}}
