I was talking about buying rights to a non-free software package and making it free for you and everyone else ... you have paid money to make there be a free software package where before there was only a non-free one ... that is buying freedom (for yourself, which you then share with others via a DFSG-free license), in a very real sense that pertains very much to copyright law. Blender is more free now than it was before the community paid $100K. - Jimmy Kaplowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED]
