With the success of blender.org projects, and publishing all the exciting Blender releases, we’re now being challenged by third parties who like to ride the waves and do business with Blender.

There’s nothing wrong with that. In its very nature, GNU GPL is about freedom, the freedom not only to use and modify the sources, but also to distribute and resell our releases under another brand name.

Unfortunately we keep receiving concerned emails and forum postings from people who were worried about resellers renaming Blender on websites or using Ebay to sell Blender downloads.
