@nprofile1q... I'm not a firm believer that Blender should not exist. For it to exist, it needs donations. A lot of them, for they employ plenty of people who work tirelessly on improving it (and dealing with all the regular FOSS crap that comes with the territory).
So I cannot judge them for taking money that buys their workers comfortable lives. Being able to live in comfort, to plan for your future is an incredibly important thing.
