The short story; It looks to me like someone (anonymous owner of opensim.net) has hijacked a name (opensim) he or she may or may not have legal rights to with the (criminal) intent of abusing a (free) product name for his or her own benefit. (Yeah, darn those feminists, can’t “he” just cover both sexes?) I really hope this doesn’t mean that core developers have to spend time on legal issues because some 14 year old wants to run his/her own site. This is valuable time for professional developers that can be spent on making OpenSim better instead of bitching to lawyers.
