Blender is GPL2+. It's impossible to have that license and not be free. It's also basically impossible to change license.

- yjftsjthsd-h 3y agoSmall nitpick: AIUI it is possible to sell binaries of a GPLv2 program, provided you keep providing source for free. (I think; IANAL, there's maybe some caveat about exactly when you have to give source and to who.) That can actually work if your users don't want to compile stuff themselves.
- mnau 3y agoIn theory. Show me one example (not service or support, but selling actual software). You have a better chance of winning a lottery, happens every day. In theory, I can just walk through solid wall, using a quantum tunneling effect. The closes thing you will find are things like blender release under GPL (i.e. pay me a money to release my commercial software under GPL, but that's not selling GPL software), This whole line of thinking is disingenuous.
