Hi !

Why not ?

I think I had similar kind of discussion on debian:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-embedded/2011/07/msg00059.html

May be we could find some intermediate solution - like make it closed till 
development costs will pays off. :-)

Have a nice day!

It's unlikely the license will change. There's nothing stopping you
from taking Blender in a CAD direction though, as long as you comply
with the GPL.
