Join Jonathan Williamson and myself, Jonathan Lampel, as we talk about how Blender's Open Source GPL license affects the users and creators of free and paid Blender addons.
If you make addons, use addons, or are just spectating the Twitter debates about addon piracy, this is a discussion you won't want to miss!

Concerning copyright Benjamin Franklin said “As we enjoy great advantages from the inventions of others, we should be glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours; and this we should do freely and generously.”
IIRC, there are some addons out there that aren't entirely GPLed. The parts that aren't contain all of the important code. So unauthorised copying of those parts would be piracy.
