It means that effective today, all technology development and website activities around Blender will be frozen. " Nice app. Too bad really.

    It's already GPLed, Einstien.

    I'd like to see the source GPLed - if they no longer are going to use it. I would like to pick through the source for stuff and maybe contribute plugins to a new OSS project based around it.

    I used to do a Open GL GUI tk for my modeler too, but I always thought blender's layout was too static to use personally. Agian I'm a developer more than an artist. I was just looking into writing some blender plug-ins over break for a guy I met on OPN. Oh well, more time for my project. =)

    Moderators: you can moderate this as troll all you want (just like you did my comments when Loki and Mandrake reported problems), but it should be obvious to anyone by now that there is NO MONEY to be made with free software.
