Ummmm,
I think you missed the point of the animation. The story was somewhat
interesting but it should have been developed a little better, but I
suppose there is only so much you can do in 10 minutes.
I think what they were trying to illustrate what Blender can do. More
specifically I think they were trying to demonstrate what Blender on Linux
can do. If you forward to 10:06 in the credits you'll see the following.
3D modeling, animation, rendering, compositing software
Blender
Special thanks to Open Source Projects
Gimp Twisted
Python Ubuntu Linux
OpenEXR KDE
Verse Gnome
Cinepaint Dr Queue
Inkscape Subversion

Again, I don't think the actual release of this movie was to protect it
from copyright infringement, I think the purpose of this movie was to
demonstrate what Linux and Blender are capable of.
