there WAS some concern/confusion about licensing issues on -core and we've
settled that. your patches (submitted under the OpenSim BSD license as are all
other patches) will continue to be accepted on their technical merit --- again,
like we treat all other submitted patches. your case is not the first one and
certainly will not be the last one. we try to steer a straight course
IP/licensing wise and sometimes we need to discuss issues and implications
before reaching consensus (and, in true -core fashing, we sometimes do this in a
rather engaged manner, jumping at the chance of having a really good debate).
