2002.10.18 ~01  Blender Open-Source

Blender Liberated

The Blender source code is distributed under a dual GPL/not-so-GPL license.
Reminds me a bit of Mozilla.  Freed 13 October 2002.

Blender Autoconfiscating
http://www.linux.ucla.edu/~phaethon/blender/blender-autoconf.html

The initial build environment was heavily broken/undocumented.  It didn't
"out-of-the-box", so on Sunday night (localtime) I started rearranging
directories and files, and autoconfiscating the tree.  Started late 13
October 2002.  Hacking at it since.  First I got a modelling-only Blender.
Then GameBlender eventually fell into the autostream.  Now it's mostly
cleanup and tweaks.  Hoping for a pub CVS repository on www.blender.org.

Blender Publisher semi-freeware

The v2.25 that was previously off-limits to non-bondaged users was released
in limited "freeware" style, um... yesterday, I think.  RE'ing and
decompilation are still forbidden, but at least the "common rabble" can take
a stab at 2.25 without trying to figure out the compile path.
