Blender Fund Raises EUR18,000 In Three Days

Posted by timothy on from the i'd-like-to-buy-write-now-from-apple dept.

dpm writes:"The Blender foundation looks like it might actually have a chance of raising the EUR 100,000 it needs to buy Blender from the NaN shareholders and make it Open Source. They started fundraising on Thursday, and they already have total pledges of EUR 18,025, with EUR 9,946 actually collected. See the money meter for the current status. If this actually works, what other non-profitable commercial software might we buy cheap and make Open Source? Old video games? Video editing software?"

    Um.... no, I think I got the joke and added to it, you COWARD....

    The story: A third of the money has been raised.
    The original joke: Well, if we can't raise 100,000EU, we can buy a KitchenAid.
    My addition: No, B+D is better... if we can't get the best one, at least buy a decent one.

    Now, you see, if you weren't a COWARD, I'd reply with something similar to "Oh, was there a hidden joke in KitchenAid?"

    But, you're a COWARD. I despise COWARDS. I'll say why some other time.
