[Bf-committers] Blender developer IRC meeting notes May 8, 2011

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

Oops! forgot line of text belonging to point 3:

- In order to keep the option open to have Cycles available as another  
(more free) GPL compliant license, contributors should agree for now  
to commit under BF copyright. Final decision on this should be made  
soon, review of how or what can continue until there's consensus though.

-Ton-
