Well, one can only assume, based on the wording they use here:

https://github.com/atom/welcome/blob/master/lib/welcome.md

> Atom is free during the beta period.

This reminds me of one of Mitch Hedberg's more famous jokes: "I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too."

How refreshing, a correct usage of "the exception that proves the rule"!

One can assume that, but that's not what it says. The statement that the editor is free during beta could mean "we haven't figured out whether to sell it after the beta, sell services around it, or develop integration with our other services and keep it free to enhance our overall value proposition."
