Looking for Blender training or support? Ask your local Adesk/Maxon/Foundry centers - they're in need of business and will happily include Blender nowadays.
(My two #b3d cents)
Yes this is serious, and based on connections I have. After all it's not about the program, it's about the skill of being a good trainer, teaching people how to express creative ideas.
Let training centers know if you look for Blender training. They'll appreciate it.
It's a nice expansion of their business to teach open source tools in general. No permissions or authorization or exclusivity contracts needed.

Blender is Free Software. It's free to use for everyone. Free to use for any purpose, also commercially. Blender is free to share with others, free to study its sources and free make new versions.
This freedom is what makes the GNU GPL license so powerful and it's why it's much more than "open source". The license simply prevents anyone to put restrictions on Blender. That protects users as well as everyone who contribute to Blender.
If you decide to contribute to Blender, whether as Python script or as C++ code, you have to agree on this freedom. You can keep all rights of your own work, but if you publish or sell or share Blender code, you do it just as Free as Blender is.
