My thought is: just be prepared for the nightmare scenario. To me, that would be something like Oracle buying LL. What they just did to the OpenOffice developers gives me pause:

I think a lot of folks want to see OpenSim in an unassailable position for virtual worlds, in the manner that the Apache server has been for the web. Hmm, perhaps a better story to reference - Oracle suing Google over java... http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2010/08/oracles-java-lawsuit-undermines-its-open-source-credibility.ars The SCO Unix debacle also comes to mind :) Daniel
