I understand the implications of my suggestions. That may be the case. It is of my opinion that contributing to open source software is not a viable employment option. I’m a full time developer. I’m sure I’m in the majority in saying that any contributions I might make to Blender occur under the assumption I won’t get any financial gain out of it. Of course that limits the resources I can devote to improving Blender. I agree, public image doesn’t pay rent, but it can lead to a heck of a lot more negotiating power when it comes to finding employment which does pay rent.
