[Austin Benesh]

Sounds like a good thing to add to Blender, but would it affect the GPL/BL?

While i am not very good at programming i contacted Alias about the FBX, 
and today i just got an email from them... it is attached below... in 
text format... i don't know very well what you have planned, but 
integrating this into Blender will help greatly with support between 
platforms.
