I use educational version of autdodesk products currently. All they ask is where you go to school. You get to use pretty much any of the programs for free for three years, and you can't sell your work. I am a student and use the educational license products within the terms of agreement, and I am not advocating cheating…
Modo is already owned by The Foundry. I doubt Autodesk will buy The Foundry. Just like they didn't buy Pixologic yet. I think if they could they would buy Pixologic in heartbeat. Though, who knows. I still wonder why Autodesk was able to buy XSI. Does Softimage managment gone greed-mad and when they saw tens of milions…

If you were one of them, you might be wondering how to…
how can autodesk get away with that!! as there are bugs, and there are laughable bugs, this one falls into the later category among all the problems that maya has, this one is the most telling about the status of the software and the conditions in which it is being shipped…
