A new phenomena is making its debut in the movie industry today; the world’s first Open Movie has been released on the internet.
Ton Roosendaal has once again relentlessly turned a vision into reality: the dream to prove the power of Open Source software by creating a movie that could match itself with any commercial product.
Open Content
Not only would the movie be made using Open Source software, but the contents themselves were to be Open as well: all of the digital assets and production files are released under a Creative Commons license, allowing everyone to see how the movie was made, make changes to it and create a new, derived movie. This will be an invaluable archive not only for the Blender community, but for the 3D community in general.

This is absolutely incredible. What are other's views on this? Or, don't really care about it?
