As usual when I think "this is a rare case where I can't fail!" the reality hits me in the face and takes away this amazing place of "feeling right". I get reminded of my limitations. When will I learn true #humility?

This time my "charge" against paid #Blender add-ons has quickly revealed that I was operating on a false premise.

It turns out #GPL allows giving your source code to paying customers ONLY. It's looked down upon, but it's allowed by the license.

but those customers can still give the code to anyone they want, right?

The Blender add-on market is not new, it's been like that for many years, maybe even a decade.
And I've just learned that the GPL allows developer to give the source code to paying customers ONLY. So it's not a violation. Also it seems that with RHEL, RedHat is punishing customers fro distributing the source-code, and that seems like it is a violation.
