At the company I work for, we are doing a project that requires customisation of Blender. Traditionally, the client has been heavily against the idea of free software. But Blender is so good, and the benefits of being able to modify it are so great that it can't be ignored. The client is even considering giving the changes back to the community. I consider this to be a big win for free software, because even if they choose not to this time, they are now aware of the potential benefits.
If companies have no choice but to release their extensions as free software, then that's fantastic. Encouraging it is exactly what the GPL is supposed to do. My apologies for continuing this thread - I just thought another industry perspective would be useful.
