I'm talking to Ton about this. He's got a problem: all his savings are in Blender and so far it has not paid for itself. Ton has sold less than 1/3 of the books he would need to have done to make it pay for itself. He would like to make it GPL'd but cannot if he is to continue working on it -- which most users of it want. A working model for GPL'd software needs to be found for specialist areas like 3d. It hasn't been found yet.
