People: companies should support open source!
Also people: companies supporting open source is bad, actually!

Embrace: Netflix funds Blender devs
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.

This is great news for Blender. More companies should support the open source projects they use.
