Stay tuned! Season 2 recorded live at BCON LA drops in July.

It is common knowledge that Blender is free, but not everyone is aware that it didn’t start out that way or how its current license, the GPL, affects what one can and cannot legally do with the software. At CG Cookie, Blender Market, and Orange Turbine, our livelihoods are directly dependent on Blender’s license. Therefore, it is safe to assume that we understand it well and have some thoughts on the subject.

In this Episode, Jonathan Lampel hosts a conversation with Jason van Gumster from Orange Turbine, who seems to think that licensing law is a fun hobby, and Jonathan Williamson, co-founder of Blender Market and CTO of Autotroph.
