Dear Blender user,
Finally some good news. It looks like Blender will get a new future.
I've managed to make a deal with the investors in NaN, to agree on a
plan to make Blender become an open source project, published as GNU
GPL. This will be organized by an independent non-profit organisation,
the 'Blender Foundation'.
You can read about this at the Blender site:
http://www.blender3d.com
Before you go there... there's one 'but' involved. The Foundation will
have to pay 100k euro (or USD) to NaN in order to make it happen. That
money will be collected with a campaign during the next month. I
honestly expect we can find big sponsors to help us out, but I'm afraid
it also comes down to you, as the individual Blender user.
I hope you consider making a donation; you can become Foundation Member
for 50 euro (or USD), which will also give you some nice extras during
the campaign.
Let's make Blender Free Software forever!
