YOU DA’ MAN TON!!!

Open Source! Wow! You’ve really proven it about more than money. Blender now has the chance to be more powerful than anyone ever dreamed.

Will the open version still be called Blender? Or does that name consitute a seperate piece of IP?

Great news certainly but… am I the only guy who’s thinking “where the heck will the Foundation get the 100K euros from ?” (excluding Ton of course…)

Anyway… great news !

Wow. I am blown away.

Ton - whatever you do for the rest of your life (and may it be GOOD when this is all over for you), you have done a GOOD THING™ for the world. Not many people can say that.

You are THE MAN.

I am so happy.
