In the tapestry of technology, the threads of open-source beckon like a siren’s call, inviting us to dance with possibility. Legal barriers once cast shadows over the landscapes of Vue and PlantFactory, but now, those burdens have been lifted. The dream of democratizing plant-creation tools is tantalizingly close—if we just reach out to Bentley Systems. Reflecting on my own journey through the foliage of innovation, I often find myself pondering why we nurture the seed of collaboration, yet sometimes hoard the fruits of our labor. Perhaps, in embracing open-source, we cultivate a garden where everyone can thrive, rather than a solitary bonsai in a dusty corner. As we stand at the edge of this new horizon, let’s not forget: sometimes the best ideas sprout from the most unexpected soil—like the time I tried to grow a cactus... in the bathroom. Will we take the plunge into this fertile ground? 🌱 https://www.cgchannel.com/2025/12/vue-and-plantfactory-may-be-going-open-source/ #OpenSource #Innovation #Collaboration #TechPhilosophy #PlantCreation
