CEILING FALLS ON BLENDER CHAIRMAN, TON ROOSENDAAL

Ton Roosendaal looks up to the rafters to see who dumped stuff on him
During a Blender Foundation conference, Blender Chairman Ton Roosendaal mentions Autodesk as he explains the topic of the Blender code ownership. Then he states the following:

Autodesk has a slogan: DON'T BLEND IN. STAND OUT. See photo. Yes, that is Ton Roosendaal in the photo. He looks 6 foot 5 inches tall.
What people don't know maybe... is that the Blender Code is not owned by the Blender Foundation.

As soon as he finishes that sentence, debris from the ceiling start to drop on his head as if someone had diliberatly pulled a string tied to a bucket that was centered exactly above his head. Was it Team Autodesk? Just kidding. I hope not.

Ton will wear a hard hat to his next Blender conference

Nothing serious. It's just a bug in the Fracture Modifier. ;) Hey, +Ton Roosendaal, we're glad you're safe.

"Blender code is not owned by Blender Foundation" yeah, but it's GPL, you don't own it too.

Oh man! This is funny! I hope +Ton Roosendaal wasn't hurt! I love how he handled the situation, though :P Did you know Blender's source code is not owned by the Blender Foundation? Now you do! :) One of the video comments (some of them are hilarious): Luckily, Blender is more stable than that ceiling!

One of the things the Blender Institute handles is "risky projects", such as open films and standing in that specific spot.

yeah, the second one is much more risky though.

Now I can't stop wondering - who IS the code owned by?
Garrett Williams 4 days ago
The community. No single entity owns it. All users are free to do whatever they want with it, even change the code and redistribute it, as long as the license remains unchanged.
Adrian 4 days ago
+Garrett Williams Phew, thank god. I was worried he had upset some powerful entity by revealing that.

It was God.  He was surprised as we all were, that the "code is not owned by the Blender Foundation" ...earthquake.

Goodness me, that could have been pretty serious if he was hit on the head. Good thing that the shoulder is so well-stabilised and protected!
Stupid autodesk, you made him look bad! Woogley woogley
