Blender has been "free" for a long time. The blender 1.5 manual is dated October 1998. The program could be downloaded with most features available. Through a small fee you were able to get a key file to unlock some additional features. The program went open source July 12 of last year. For more details (and a one year report on the program's development since it became OS), take a look at: http://www.blender.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=62&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0 (The above URL should be all on one line with no spaces.) -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
