Ubuntu-maker Canonical Will Support Open Source Blender on Windows, Mac, and Linux

'Blender is one of the most important open source projects, as the 3D graphics application suite is used by countless people at home, for business, and in education. The software can be used on many platforms, such as Windows, Mac, and of course, Linux. Today, Ubuntu-maker Canonical announces it will offer paid enterprise support for Blender LTS. Surprisingly, this support will not only be for Ubuntu users. Heck, it isn't even limited to Linux installations. Actually, Canonical will offer this support to Blender LTS users on Windows, Mac, and Linux.' -- source: https://news.slashdot.org/story/21/06/23/1950222 Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann Dept. of Computer Science University of Waikato, NZ +64 (7) 577-5304 http://www.cms.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ http://www.data-mining.co.nz/

I’ve always thought this is how it should be. I’ve wondered why the outfits behind Blender and Firefox offer LTS versions for free; the kind of customers who need ongoing support for older versions are exactly the kind of people who can afford to pay for it.
