too many companies already supporting blender for too long for it to be the case. Giants such as AMD, Intel and Nvidia are omongst them for quite a long time. No indication there’d be any “extinguishment” in the foreseeable future.
Comment on Netflix Animation Studios are now funding Blender development

Extend: Netflix continues funding/hiring Blender devs.
Extinguish: Netflix buys the governing body of Blender, starts charging for the service and laughs all the way to the bank.
I give it ten years.

Even if they don't absorb Blender, who pays chooses the restaurant, adapting a local saying. The more a company or coordinated group injects moneys into a project, the more of a saying they have in the developments of that project.

You realise Blender is open source, right? If they pull shenanigans the community can simply fork the project.

@Anarki_@lemmy.blahaj.zone has reason to be alarmed:
Capitalism is a blight to libre software.

Good luck getting all Blender contributors to agree to a license change, very different circumstances to Open Source corporate software employing or restricting contributors to a CLA.
Hence why modern AOSP/RedHat/Ubuntu and the likes are not commonly considered libre, although they are GPL licensed open source software.

I think you replied to the wrong person. MurrayL thinks forks are legally pliable.
