Embrace: Netflix funds Blender devs
Extend: Netflix continues funding/hiring Blender devs.
Extinguish: Netflix buys the governing body of Blender, brings them in and starts charging for the service while laughing all the way to the bank.
I give it ten years max.
You realise Blender is open source, right? If they pull shenanigans the community can simply fork the project.
@Anarki_@lemmy.blahaj.zone has reason to be alarmed:
Capitalism is a blight to libre software.
Good luck getting all Blender contributors to agree to a license change, very different circumstances to Open Source corporate software employing or restricting contributors to a CLA.
Hence why modern AOSP/RedHat/Ubuntu and the likes are not commonly considered libre, although they are GPL licensed open source software.
I think you replied to the wrong person. MurrayL thinks forks are legally pliable.
I am a black anarchist, copyright is authoritarian bs.
too many companies already supporting blender for too long for it to be the case. Giants such as AMD, Intel and Nvidia are omongst them for quite a long time. No indication there'd be any "extinguishment" in the foreseeable future.
Even if they don't absorb Blender, who pays chooses the restaurant, adapting a local saying. The more a company or coordinated group injects moneys into a project, the more of a saying they have in the developments of that project.
