Open Source Autodesk Products

[Ammon]

Is there any possibility of Autodesk making their products available for open source OS or as an open source software?

They have made some GIS mapping thing 'open source' (I don't know under what licence) and the DWF toolkit has a very open licence, allowing it to be extended and more. So there's already some stuff there.

They also make some stuff on the movie production side of things that run on Open Source OS's.

As for the design tools, CAD tools, that sort of thing, not at this time, and not in the near future as far as I know.
