Blame whichever license you want. It doesn't matter.

Let's say it is Autodesk's fault and they don't care. Now what? Blender is the tool that's a pain in the ass to use so the onus is on them to make their tool not suck. Meanwhile the rest of the world will continue to use FBX because it's an awesome format to work with.

"Blame the gun or the guy who died for not having a steel skeleton, it doesn't matter. The guy is the one who's dead, the gun is fine. The onus is on guys to not die."

If we're going to make this analogy work, the guy who died could have easily worn a bullet-proof vest or avoided getting in the fight at all.

Or he could have picked a different software license.

You are the one who was all "GPL hurtz dem users!!"

You're probably right with your assumption that FBX is awesome, but this wasn't part of the debate.

What does "awesome format to work with" mean? You're not working with the format.
