Today Adobe announced that they will join the Blender Foundation’s Development Fund as a corporate Gold member. Contributions from corporate members directly support core Blender development, for generally approved projects on blender.org.
“We are thrilled Adobe is joining the Blender Development Fund to help ensure the longevity and success of this dynamic open-source community.” said Sébastien Deguy, VP of 3D & Immersive at Adobe. “We’re excited to help strengthen and improve this accessible suite of tools.”
“This is a great step forward,” says Blender founder and chairman Ton Roosendaal, “it’s a prime example of the industry increasingly accepting to work with free/open source software.”
Biggest issue of all this "open source software" is that corporations are making 90-99% of all development. Yes, during work time corporations employees are doing almost all contributions.
I think we are very near stage where corporations (who already control almost all OO world) like piranhas will tear most of OO projects and make them fully closed.
