All Rights Reserved. + +For teams that don't want to operate under the GPL, we're also offering +this "non-GPL" Blender License option. This means that you can download +the latest sources and tools via FTP or CVS from our site and sign an +additional agreement with the Blender Foundation, so you can keep your +source modifications confidential. Contact the Blender Foundation via +email at license@blender.org so we can discuss how we handle the +practical matters. + +A signed agreement allows you to do business with proprietary code, make +special derived versions, sell executables, projects or services, +provided that: + +1. The BL-ed code remains copyrighted by the original owners, and cannot +be transferred to other parties + +2. The BL-ed code cannot be published or re-distributed in any way, and +only be available for the internal staff that works directly on the +software itself. Employees of partners with which you co-develop on the +projects that include BL-ed code are considered 'internal staff' also. + +3. The BL-ed code can be used (sold, distributed) in parts or in its +whole only as an executable or as a compiled library/module and its +header files. + +4. The usage of the name Blender or the Blender logo is not included in +this license. Instead 'including Blender Foundation release X' (or +similar) can be used, with 'X' the version number of the initial Blender +Foundation release which you started with. + +5.
