Going by:
*121*days until
*OpenSim.net Grid Launch Party
*
at the upper left of the page I'd guess this the homepage (or future
homepage) of someone's new grid. I think someone may need to read the
OpenSim license - maybe the part where it states:
" * * Neither the name of the OpenSimulator Project nor the
* names of its contributors may be used to endorse or promote
products
* derived from this software without specific prior written
permission."

Hi
Anyone know what www.opensim.net <http://www.opensim.net> is all about?
The short story; It looks to me like someone (anonymous owner of
opensim.net <http://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.

[09:57:28] <Tedd1> whats this? :)
[09:58:05] <Tedd1> or rather this; http://www.opensim.net/
[10:00:26] <sachaMagne_> no idea
[10:00:52] <Tedd1> it seems to be ripping data directly from other sites
[10:00:59] <phrearch> hey
[10:01:00] <Tedd1> and pretending to "be" opensim
[10:01:25] <Tedd1> view source -> Public Grid List Sorted <a
href="http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Grid_List/Sorted/Alphabetically";
[10:02:25] <sachaMagne_> the opensimulator list is wrong anywat
[10:02:46] <sachaMagne_> if you select different sorts, you will find
different result for the same grid
[10:03:15] <Tedd1> page contains RSS feeds, steals lists from
opensimulator.org <http://opensimulator.org>, copy pastes info and
mixes it with lies and half baked truth without ever mentioning that
it is *NOT* opensim
[10:03:28] <Tedd1> *RSS feeds from other pages (of course)
[10:03:36] <Tedd1> so no actual contribution, a lot of stealing :)
[10:04:09] <sachaMagne_> not a breaking news for RSS aggregator ... :/
[10:07:22] <Tedd1> someone should probably contact the domain owner
[10:07:41] <Tedd1> would be really pittyful if core members had to
spend time on legal issues to get some 14 year old to play nice
[10:07:46] <sachaMagne_> i made a whois and the real owner is hidden
[10:08:07] <Tedd1> time that could be spent on features, bugfixes, etc
[10:08:51] <sachaMagne_> no legal information on the site itself
Br,
Tedd
