Trimble Cracks Down on Open-Source SketchUp Rival
Original: Trimble Went After the Open-Source SketchUp — Here's What They Killed
Trimble, which owns SketchUp, has taken action against an open-source project that replicated SketchUp's functionality, and coverage is detailing what the project was and what has now been shut down or lost. The story is drawing attention from architects and 3D modeling professionals who rely on affordable or free modeling tools and who are debating the implications for open-source alternatives to commercial CAD software.
Why now: Discussions about corporate enforcement against open-source alternatives to commercial 3D modeling software resonate with designers concerned about tool accessibility.
