In one of the most spectacular shot-in-the-foot own goals since Project Zero Chance Of Success , the licensing on the Aptana IDE has been changed to the Aptana Public License (APL). In short, you can look at the code, you can even fix their bugs, but you can't distribute the changes. In other words, it's not an open-source license , and therefore, open-source coders need no longer apply.

With regards to contributions, nothing has changed. You can contribute the changes to IDE code back to the project so everyone can benefit form them, or you can keep the changes and use them yourself. You can even distribute a plugin with your code in any manner you wish.
