[Bf-committers] GPL or (c) infringement?

[joeedh]

You know what really makes me sick, though?  Knowing that after I spend 
hundreds of hours developing HE mesh, all in the name of free as in 
freedom (and of course for its spot on the resume), some guy is going to 
come along and include it in a scam!

This is supposed to be a 100% free donation to the blender project!

I feel sick.
