Oh, AutoDesk...you have such a way with words. Honestly, I would rather learn to design in OpenSCAD than send AutoDesk a single penny.

I agree it's a silly breakpoint, but they have to draw the line somewhere, and I'm sure they feel that a 70/30 split is completely reasonable. Besides, a Fusion license is practically coins-in-the-couch compared to their architectural licensing fees. I'm sure they feel like they're doing us a favor by pricing Fusion so low.

It’s just so weird to go from “free for personal and low Commercial use”, up to “we want 68% of your revenue.”

They could easily have made it a sliding scale, or gone with profit instead of revenue.

The thing is that pretty much nobody is making over 1k and less than 10-20k a year with fusion.
