![]() Really, this amount is not particularly arduous, especially when compared to the software license - and hardware cost - of using alternative products. For these companies it may be a requirement to switch to a paid license, which currently runs for US$495 per year, or US$60 per month. On the other hand, it’s likely there are some small businesses using Fusion 360 that don’t exactly fit into the definition of “startup” as provided by Autodesk. This sounds like a reasonable growth strategy for the product, as they really do have to translate some portion of free licenses into paid licenses. Thus it appears that Autodesk wants the startups using Fusion 360 to truly build new products and allow Autodesk to showcase them in some manner. It’s possible they may reject applications if they don’t see them fitting into their definition of a startup. To obtain the software using this new license, you must fill out a form answering all these questions and more, and then apply to Autodesk. There are also some restrictions around unusual corporate arrangements, such as subsidiary companies, contractor use and more. “Venture-backed, angel-backed, or bootstrap startups” Willingness to share stories with the Autodesk community Let’s take a look at the new qualifications for the Autodesk Fusion For Startup Use license:įewer than ten staff (does not specify whether they are full or part time) Fusion 360 Startup License Qualifications However, for those in startup companies, the bottom line is that you must now go through an approval process.

I found basically no variation within the repetitive lyrics: people either followed the song or said nothing at all.Īll of the following results are therefore focused on the far more creative innovative lyrics. Even within the US, trends usually can only be described broadly. As such, there is little regional variation discernible outside of the US, although each country had its own general trend. Broken down by country:īecause of the way the survey was structured and distributed, the majority of the respondents were American. All data was collected anonymously and all survey questions were optional. At the end of the survey I asked three demographic questions: decade when the respondent first learned the song, and the respondent’s home state and city (stressed as optional). ![]() Innovative lyrics add something entirely new, which cannot be predicted from the preceding line (example: “as they shouted out with glee (YIPPEE)”. Repetitive lyrics largely repeat the last word or two of the preceding line (example: “all of the other reindeer (REINDEER)”. I divided the added lyrics into two categories: repetitive and innovative. This research was conducted via a Google Forms survey. I also made minor modifications to clarify some questions. Most importantly, all the questions were changed to fill-ins after some comments about semantic priming. I will also note that I have made some small changes to the survey. ![]() I designed a survey at lightning speed, posted it on social media, peddled it around the internet last December.īefore I go further, I want to note that “Regional Variation in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” is BACK for Year 2 and collecting new data.

An example from the first two lines of the song:Ĭhildren, perfectly synchronized: REINDEERĬhildren, united and deafening: LIKE A LIGHTBULBīut perhaps you sing “LIKE A FLASHLIGHT” instead. These little additional lyrics are chanted or shouted at the end of each line of the song.
