@thankfulmachine@oldbytes.space If I fork Blender, and nothing other than the name and mission statement are different, is that enough of a change for you to feel that I've meaningfully changed things?
Still all the same code, funded by the same companies, but I'm just packaging it up with my own branding and message.
For me, I'd much rather the community fund Blender so they don't have to have these corporate donors than create forks that ultimately are all funded by corporate donors.

@thankfulmachine@oldbytes.space The fact they responded at all - and are going to be changing their funding polices, when community donations are tiny compared to what the corporations are giving them every year, is exactly why we shouldn't be abandoning them and splintering off in all different directions. We should hold them accountable and make the project better.
