Worlds.com CEO: We're 'Absolutely' Going To Sue Second Life http://www.businessinsider.com/worldscom-ceo-were-absolutely-going-to-sue-second-life-and-world-of-warcraft-2009-3
"Worlds.com CEO Thom Kidrin is putting the entire virtual worlds industry on notice: His company claims the idea of a scalable virtual world with thousands of users is its patented intellectual property, and Thom told us he intends to sue anyone who refuses to enter into licensing negotiations -- including giants such as Second Life and World of Warcraft, a property of Activision Blizzard (ATVI)." I wonder if/how this will affect OpenSim. I assume we couldn't afford to defend a lawsuit. Would we just stop development if sued? Are we likely to be sued? ~Sean -- Sean Hennessee Central Computing Support Network & Academic Computing Services UC Irvine ... . .- -. / .... . -. -. . ... ... . . _______________________________________________ Opensim-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/opensim-dev
