[Bf-committers] university work

[Keighley, Joseph]

I'm a student at the university of Bolton in England and I have been tasked with finding an open source piece of software and looking at how open source has benefited it.
 
I hope you will answer these questions for me
 
1) How has Blender being open source helped it develop?
2) Why was the project originally chosen to be open source?
3)What kind of audience is Blender aimed at? 
Yours sincerely 
Joseph Keighley
