No, it is not too political, it influences the future of all of us! The IIPA
simplified says that all open source tools like Blender and even operating
systems like Linux are threatening the overall economy of the world.

In reality open source provides access, generates new ideas/markets
and influence our overall life. CGTalk is also providing open access to
knowledge, but in the line of IIPA argumentation we all should be
using official support hotlines (payed, of course) instead of such a
open and inspiring forums...

This is no political statement, it's an economical one, on how big, lobbying
companies want to make money every way possible...

I won't go further on that issue, but please let the thread open for the
sake of "freedom of speech" and the overall openness of CGTalk.
