Intent to package: blender



Im sure most of you know what blender is or have heard of it but here is the description from the FAQ.
Only binaries are available.

---
Being the in-house software of a high quality animation studio, Blender has proven to be an extremely fast
and versatile design instrument. The software has a personal touch, offering a unique approach to the
world of Three Dimensions. Use Blender to create TV commercials, to make technical visualizations,
business graphics, to do some morphing, or design user interfaces. You can easy build and manage complex
environments. The renderer is versatile and extremely fast. All basic animation principles (curves & keys)
are well implemented.

I was wondering about the copyright here, is it considiered "commercial distribution" to put something in
non-free? Im thinking it will be ok but I want to make sure.
